GameSalad is slowing down. Anyone else?

It seems like the more things I add to the game I am creating, the slower game salad is running. I get the spinning pinwheel of death every time I click on something. Taking forecer to do simple things.

Is this happening to anyone else?

    Yes...there are memory leaks...its still beta.
    TIPS:
    1) Save often
    2) Work in versioning - new file every 2-4 hours to prevent corruptions.
    3) Restart GameSalad every 15-20 minutes
    4) Avoid using the back and forward arrows if at all possible...most leaks are attributed to them.

    Use these tips and you will be okay.

    I find it works best if you save then right click on GS icon in dock and close it like that, then reopen a project.

    Thank you soooooo much. I hate having to reboot every 10 minutes.
