Description
I checked out dustinbrett.com, using Windows 11, Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit). The site quickly became sluggish, and RAM (32GB) usage spiked from ~43% to 88%+, maintaining that level even after closing the tab. Closing all Firefox windows brought the RAM usage back down in the range around 34%. I tried Chrome as well, and it did not have such a problem.
I haven't looked at the code with any detail, so I can't provide additional context. Hope it helps, but feel free to ignore.
Impressive architecture, nice work! :)

Research direction
Start at https://dustinbrett.com/ and reproduce the report on Windows 11 with Firefox 133.0.3, then compare the same visit in Chrome. Use Firefox's memory tools to identify what remains after closing the tab; done means the site's memory use no longer stays elevated after the tab is closed.
