I've searched the internet for days now and have found a lot of articles and discussions about memory leaks in earlier versions of jQuery but nothing about v1.4.2.

I'm facing the following problem:

- I'm writing a web app that has a search engine which builds a table with the results.

- The table sometimes holds over 1000 results (max tested: 1200).

- Building the table (ajax) works perfectly and raises the memory usage in some MBs but everything's normal.

- When I delete the table using remove(), the memory usage goes from ~30MB to ~127MB and stays there (even if I reload the page).

Additional info:

- Each table row (<tr>) has a hover handler.

- Each table field (<td>) has a click handler and 2 data() properties assigned.

is this a known issue in v.1.4.2?

is there a workaround?
