Internet Explorer is becoming non-responsive
I have a relatively small test suite (60-80 tests) that we run nightly on a VM. Sometimes when this suite runs IE stops responding to Test complete and all the subsequent tests fail. When this happen...

This is definitely a thing that I've been fighting for a while now. There's some kind of memory leak in IE that doesn't occur when running the same test in Firefox. Luckily, we've been able to just run in FF instead of IE. I have run into a situation where FF memory skyrockets (over 2gb virtual memory consumed by the process), but that seems to be tied to a specific sequence in our app.
There was an issue reported with IE 11 recently

This didnt help me as I am running version 11, build 11.0.9600.18163, switching off the spellchecker plugin made no difference.
I did find that running through the same test steps manually in IE causes the memory usage to balloon as quickly as when running Test Execute, so the issue is in IE or our web app.
If anyone has any tips or can point to good online resources for debugging memory issues in IE that would be great.
