[Javascript] Memory Useage

[Chris Tifer]

Hmmm... I could see where this might (not even sure of that) be a problem
with people on older machines, but with the newer PC's nowadays, it
shouldn't be much of a problem. How about doing a quick mock-up and testing
it, or better yet, send us a URL and we can report if there's any noticable
delays.

Do you have to loop through this array?  I could see where a bigger problem
might be the fact of all the HTML that's going to have to be pushed for 6000
elements in an array...
