That is strange.

There might be memory leaks. Over the years they crop up and then we squash 
them.
In the lower left corner of the window is the memory monitor that shows:
 currently used memory/high water mark/max amount available

After you get remove all data and displays try right clicking on the monitor. 
There should be a popup menu that you can explicitly call "Clear Memory & 
Cache" 
The first number should go down to around 100M
