the machine has 8GB of memory.
The issue WAS an add-on.
I was not initially suspecting add-ons since I do not have many installed.... and the ones that are installed are very common (adobe flash, java, Silverlight, google opt-outs, & abine do not track me).
The one that was the problem, Abine's 'Do not track me' add-on, I have used for a couple of years without problem.
However, I have to give Abine a big Fail on the version I had loaded from last week and the subsequent new version release they made yesterday. Both versions have the memory leak.
So, 'do not track me' was un-installed and I just installed a standard tracking protection list (from the ie gallery) and will let explorer's built-in function do the job.
