Employment: Xinha IE memory leak

Want to make some money working on Xinha?  Read on...

We make use of Xinha in our open-source project Campsite.  We like Xinha because its fast loading time and great features.  However, our users
are complaining about memory leaks in IE.  I saw these articles(among others) on the problem, some of which seem to indicate there are fairly easy solutions:

"IE: Where's My Memory?"
http://www.bazon.net/mishoo/articles.epl?art_id=824

"Leak-free Javascript Closures"
http://laurens.vd.oever.nl/weblog/items2005/closures/

"Fixing Javascript Memory Leaks for Good"
http://talideon.com/weblog/2005/03/js-memory-leaks.cfm

Drip Tool for finding IE memory leaks
http://www.outofhanwell.com/ieleak/

We (Campsite) either need to fix the memory leak problem or switch to another editor.  Both have their costs, because we have written custom plugins for Xinha that would have to be ported to whatever new editor we choose.  So I am wondering if someone out there is looking to make some money could provide us with a quote on how much it would cost to eliminate (as much as humanly possible) the memory leaks in Xinha under IE?

Please send quotes to: paul at paulbaranowski dot org

Microsoft on several different IE leaks:

If anyone is up to this task (not me!), I think DOM insertion order is also an issue.  I have found several instances of incorrect insertion order (for example, table framework in .generate()).
