IE continually uses more men

[3DPiper]

As I sit and watch iexplorer.exe in my task manager, it continually uses more and more memory.. If I leave it open overnight, it is using over 1G of memory and is very slow and unresponsive.. What is it doing to keep using more and more memory? Can it be stopped?
