I have created & published a new sprout from the blank template. When I load this widget inside of either firefox or IE it will load and display as expected. After about one to two minutes the browser process in task manager will show > 500MB of ram allocated. Eventually my computer will become unresponsive and I will have to kill the process.

When I remove the widget from the page both browsers use about 100MB of ram. I have tried recreating the widget from scratch with only very basic features(text,image,news feed) and have the same results.

Any ideas for correcting this issue?

Update: I've gone into a few other forum posts and the same thing happens when I view sprouts made by others.
