Memory consuption

[adamdbradley]

I've taken this demo source (http://codepen.io/ionic/pen/HjnFx), compiled it with Cordova and ran it through XCode on my iOS device. All I've done in the app was navigating back and forth for 5 mins. During that time the memory consumption went from 19MB to 30MB.

I haven't run any other tests and I don't know if this is related to Ionic, Cordova or whatever. I just thought I should share this with you as I find this to be very alerting.

Cordova 3.3.1, Ionic 0.9.19, XCode 5.0.2, iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5

probably just holding a reference to something or pushing something onto the stack that already exists in the ViewService. I hope it's not in ui-router

In tests I've disabled pretty much all Ionic code except angular and ui-router and still seeing similar results.

I'm hoping this change is a large part of the issue:

FYI : I see no difference in memory consumption from when I posted in http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/memory-concerns/487.

I've added even more code and features and the memory utilization is the same. I'm starting at around 24MB and creep up to about 30MB and stay there no matter what I do.

I really feel this is just the weight of Angular - not specific to Ionic.

With the recent fixes, and not seeing the memory climb like before, I'm going to close this one.
