[thelist] ie JS array limitations?

[Ken Snyder]

Brian,

I do think you're barking up the wrong tree.  I've pushed the limits of IE
before and in-memory values are not a problem. I've had over 1.5MB of data
loaded from JSON into IE6 memory and it worked fine.

IE does get slow with lots of DOM nodes.  With over 512KB of HTML, IE gets
noticably slow on simple DOM operations.

Could you explain how things "break" in IE7 and IE8?
