In my application, I created several instances of WebBrowserCtrl object(like
tabbed browsing). Let them Navigate2 several URLs, such as 8 of them, the
memory usage will shoot up to 100MB. When I close all of them they still
has another 15MB left in addition to process original memory usage. I
checked making sure to release all the COM pointers.

My questions are:
1) How to clear the left 15M memory usage ?(if it is not my fault of memory
leak)
2) How to reduce memory usage for each control ? I know the usage much
related with the content, such as image, flash, etc. Block these will reduce
the memory usage. It seemes WebBrowserCtrl use too much memory, and it does
not release them immediately when you close and delete it.
3) Can hide the WebBrowserCtrl save considerable memory ?

Thanks,

Mike J
