\[Caution... Immediately upon clicking the above link, memory will begin to leak. This will require you to 'end task' on iexplore.exe. Only run this in a test environment]

To illustrate this best, open task manager and navigate to "View > Select Columns" and check "Handle Count". Next, you can click the column header on Task Manager to sort by "Mem Usage" or "handles". The java script located on the link above will begin to leak memory quickly and can be viewed in real time using Task Manager.
