I created a proof of concept google maps hack that uses SVG to draw polylines. 
After scrolling around a bit, my browser starts eating memory and stops drawing
the svg.  The URL here shows the problem.  The code is at

WFM. Memory use increased when I opened your page, but not too much, and it
stopped increasing. I had no problems moving the map around and changing the zoom.
the leaks are google maps'.  the svg just increases the amount of leak.
