This plugin have a memory leak.
You can confirm it with chrome task manager for example.
Memory just keep increasing...

Yeah, got 4 timers on page, after few hours chrome process eats ~1gb of ram. This leak present i think in all versions of script, cos i have 1.8 and update it to 2. All the same. Need to move to another plugin...

Same issue here. I've been spending 2 days to debug my JavaScript application and just figured out it was this plugin. Just open http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html in chrome and watch the memory increasing on the task manager.

It's a bug in Chrome: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=120186
As a workaround you can set $.noRequestAnimationFrame to true before the plugin.

@interleaver what are the downsides of disabling requestAnimationFrame? It then falls back to setInterval - is that more CPU intensive?

I'm currently experiencing extremely high CPU usage from this plugin, and I noticed it's from a version prior to requestAnimationFrame being used. So I'm upgrading to the latest, but now I'm worried about the memory leak.
