Description

Nolan Lawson blog reminds us that memory leaks can slow things down if they build up. I wonder whether many of the problems he mentioned, like adding an event listened and not removing it, are in fact cleared up when the DOM which was the target of the listening is itself cleared up. I hope so!

This is just a placeholder issue reminds us to look at memory leaks n SolidOS, decide whether we need t more about them.
