Default Why is IE eating all my memory?

Hiya - I've been having probs with IE7 and memory.

I'm using Vista & IE7 and have allowed standard windows updates to take place. Since about January, I've been having problems with IE taking up all the memory. It seems to be building up and up over the course of a few hours until it hits about 750,000K and then it pretty much freezes.

I've taken a quick screenshot.

As you can see the memory usage is in the 700,000Ks and as I type this post (in Firefox) I can see that the CPU is operating at between 80-90% in IE - yet I haven't even opened the IE tab for about an hour and all its accessing is one text webpage!

Any ideas how I can remedy this? I'm sick of keep having to close down IE and then open it up again. Out of choice I am using Firefox, but as a webdesigner, need to have IE open too for testing purposes.

Thanks!
