Recently the team from Anychart.com discovered the reason behind a long standing apparent Flash Player 9/10 memory leak when a user refreshes the page. This bug affects HTML pages which has a swf embedded on the page (whether using SWFObject or not) when viewed in IE 6/7/8. The reason for the bug was actually not the Flash player itself, but the Skype IE plug-in. You can find out more in depth information and how to disable the plug-in [http://www.anychart.com/blog/2009/07/27/anychart-has-discovered-bug-in-skype-skype-promises-to-fix-it-asap-2/ on the Anychart.com blog].
