PoE slowing down over time?

I'd like to know if other people are experiencing the same issue. If so, please reply!

(I'd like to know if its a documented issue at GGG. If not, lets document it!)

Issue

1. Path of Exile client seems to slow down over time.
2. It seems related to Act 3 specifically.

Symptoms

1. When client just sarted, loading time of eternal lab, maps and Sarn is OK. (3-5 seconds)
2. After a few hours, loading same areas is much longer. (15-20 seconds)
3. Gameplay is affected, it gets really laggy while playing (both in maps and town).
4. At this stage, task manager shows that the client uses 2.9 GB of RAM.
5. At this stage, client might crash during gameplay.
6. Closing client takes a long time (computer computes for a minute or two).

Hardware

RAM ---------- 4GB
Processor ----- Intel Core2 Quad 2.83Ghz
Video card ---- NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+
OS ----------- Windows 7 64bit

Note: This computer is a few years old, but it runs smoothly many recent (and demanding) games.

Hey there,

This may help with load times:

This may help with crashes:

"You can also reduce the rate of these crashes slightly by adding -gc 2 to the end of your Path of Exile shortcut target, as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/UYl4uhB.png"

Keep in mind, this may improve the situation, but it may not.
We're aware of various issues relating to memory usage and crashes, these are being worked on.
Thank you a lot Henry, I appreciate your swift reply. This client has been on my computer for quite a long time, I think that first link you posted might help.

If it doesn't, I'm glad to know GGG is aware of the memory related issues.

I experienced this issue the other day, ofc I had the game running for about 8 hours strait, something causes a memory leak slowly over time. But just a simple re-launch of the client fix's the problem.
