flyertalk = browser memory hog

Flyertalk seems to have astrnage way to dynamically show the posts in threads, eg;

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prac...-passport.html

When i just scroll down the thread, it dynamically adds more and more posts, it even dynamically changes the URL, eg:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prac...assport-7.html

This is a nice user experience except that it seems to kill at least my windows 7 computer - with all browsers (firefox, chrome, explorer). Open the URL, let computer sit there for a while, and the memory for the browser goes up to as many gigs as the computer has (8). All browser extensions disabled...

Is there a way to change this through any setting to keep memory needs more in bounds ?
