this is a classic sign of memory leaks Things work for... a while, then start to slow down. restarting the app, often, solves this - BUT - if the app is not releasing something it could still appear locked to the OS which couldn't clear it; requiring a computer restart.
2 things : - use task manager/Activity monitor to look at memory usage both for the system and the specific (4D) application - after quitting 4D, rather then immediately restarting wait a bit* then try a restart of the 4D app. * how long is 'a bit', I do not know , but I would say 2-5 minutes. This *should* give the OS enough opportunity to determine that whatever memory is locked up can be freed. if this is actually the case, memory leak, screen captures, and maybe 4D debug logs sent to 4D inc would help them locate and resolve it/them.
