Some time ago we opened a ticket for Liferay Portal 6.0 EE regarding a memory leak with the Dockbar and IE7. The memory consumption of the iexplore process gradually increases while browsing around Liferay. Evenually the system became unresponsive.

We are noticing similar behavior in Liferay 6.1 and Internet Explorer 8.0. For instance, browsing Liferay 6.0 EE SP1 uses around 60 MB's of memory. Browsing the same pages in Liferay 6.1 causes Internet Explorer to use around 160 MB's.

The fix for Liferay 6.0 EE was a patch that came as a part of AUI-249. I am wondering if a similar fix is needed for Liferay 6.1?
