I have a big (2 columns, 32000 rows, 10Meg) simple html file looking like this:

When i open it in IE6, IE7, Opera, Firefox and Chrome, the browser use
around 100 Meg of memory.
When i use it on IE8, on some computers IE use 130 Meg, But on most of them
IE need 300 Meg. More than 2 times more.
I try with different hardware and software configurations (XP sp2, XP sp3,
Vista, Seven, in 32 bits and 64 bits, in english and in french), different
Antivirus, ... But i can't find any logical reason explaining that difference.
I try also with to open the html document by clicking of the file, or with
the menu/File/Open. In that case (by comparaison with Http WebServer, or with
Drag'n drop), the memory usage is worst, and grow to 450 Meg. The time to
display change from 10 secondes to 10 minutes...
This doesn't happen with the others browsers.
Any idea why IE memory usage and speed is so different from one computer to
an other, or by the way you open the file?
Thanks.
P.S. : I am not interested by a response asking why the file is so big. I
know i can make some pagination, but this is not the point here.
