Memory Leak on iOS using very basic ionic application

[jhullfly]

The following codepen http://codepen.io/anon/pen/aKLyl crashes on iOS after about 2 minutes with a memory footprint of 500+MB. It is a minor modification of the tabs example app (with automatic clicking). I am running xcode 6.0.1, iPhone 5 with iOS 8.

I did a similar thing using just angular and ui.router for comparison. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/wGshb it had a flat memory footprint and was able to run for over an hour.

I know lots of memory issues have recently been fixed in ionic but there seems to still be some lingering iOS specific issues still. Worth noting that on chrome both these codepen's seems to have a flat memory profile. I did not see any currently open bugs describing memory leaks.

Two even closer examples one that has the memory leak and one that does not.

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ynbCd - has memory leak on iOS

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/IcyLr - does not leak on iOS

The only differences is in one it uses 'ion-list' and 'ion-item'. In the other it uses 'ul' and 'li'
