There are 2.x versions of KHTML that don't leak memory.

One major memory leak in KJS 2.x is related to the fact that a garbage 
collection is missing. However, when a page is left, all memory allocated for 
javascript variables is freed again. This leads to the strange behaviour that 
a page containing timered javascript calls seems to leak memory, but the mem 
usage drastically drops as soon as the page is left.
