Determine where my memory leak comes from using Google Chrome

Question

My Google Chrome taskbar clearly tells me that I have a memory leak. I've checked that I'm flushing everything, but still haven't solved the problem.

Is there a way to determine what causes the leak using Google Chrome Developer Tools (or some other tool)?

Did you run a profile or an audit from the Developer Tools window? — qJake

Well I'm taking heap snapshots at various times, and comparing them. No significant leak seems to come from the heap. — Randomblue

99% its the DOM. How bad is the leak ? Give us some numbers. — c69

@c69: The leak is around 100MB per 15 minutes. And I'm pretty sure the DOM is being cleaned properly. — Randomblue

lol, WebKit + lost of images (like more than 100) = trouble. Pure thing crashes even from slightest things like 1MB data:uri backgrounds. You should try checking this post - stackoverflow.com/questions/2986039/… — c69
