I'm profiling this with the Unix app:

source=top PID=2683 | timechart max(RES) as memory

Memory doesn't recover much when the show is stopped.

This may indicate the root cause: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12128458/iframes-and-memory-management-in-javascript

The techniques in the first link failed. Trying these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8407946/is-it-possible-to-use-iframes-in-ie-without-memory-leaks

1. Identify places where the the parent injects code into the other frame
   1. wireUpSlideFrameControls()
   2. nprogress
2. See if running in a new window fixes the problem

Including the purge code, the overlay controls and removing the nprogress seems to fix the memory issue.

The progress indicator seems to be ok, it appears to be an issue with the overlay controls.

Unbinding this.slideshow_window.document seems to fix the problem.
