When running foswiki (as recommended) using a perl accellerator like mod_perl or fcgi, TablePlugin will add more and more css to the head of subsequent pages. A %TABLE macro will register css for each table on each page visited. This css is cached internally but never freed from memory again. As a result all further pages get an increasingly large blob of css inlined to the head of the page. In effect your foswiki's performance will degraded rapidly and only free up memory in case the web server is restarted.

Reported by OlafSeng from 1&1.

Quick fix:
