Maya Slowdown

[A_GAME]

While modeling for long periods of time, maya gets slower and slower, almost as if it is using more and more memory. It gets to the point where it takes like 20 seconds to switch between object and vertex mode. Restarting maya seems to help, but it always slows down again after a few minutes. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

deleting history helps and if you are using that smooth-preview option (pressing 3 and using PG UP/DWN), it eats mem quickly

I was using the smooth preview when i didn't need to be. Now it seems to be running smoother. Thanks.
