From personal experience I'll chime in that IE9 crashes just frequently enough for memory leaks not be a huge issue.

  Zing! There was an issue with pre PHP5.3 where circular references caused memory leaks. In code that could not be moved to 5.3, long running processes were written to auto-restart at a certain point.

    Good stuff. We had some issues along these lines at my last job. We were never clever enough to auto-restart though and just perodically restarted things manually and disabled opcode caching.

  I prefer Chrome, but the only time I've ever seen IE9 crash is on a system that was running old Nvidia drivers. After updating the nvidia graphics drivers to the latest (at the time) the crashes went away and I haven't seen an IE9 crash since. If you are seriously having an issue with IE9 crashing and aren't just looking for a reason to zing Microsoft, try updating your graphics drivers... Unfortunately having to worry about that sort of thing is the price you pay for the fast low-level GPU drawing/compositor operations.

    I think the browser has become quite a bit more stable since the last release but I still run into more issues with it while browsing then I generally do with firefox or opera. I work at microsoft so I'm also a little biased against ie9 after dogfooding the beta bits due to peer pressure.
