Hello Scott, I do use previews sometimes but not a heavy use, and i've used
them for a few versions (and more so before) but this issue only happened
with 2.4.4.
Also i don't change the zoom at all, only accidentally.

I haven't managed to find out the reason yet, the process goes like this so
far, every couple of minutes (5-15 minutes) lyx start to become
unresponsive, if i check the task manager when that happens i can see that
RAM usage of lyx goes up by a few hundreds MB, if left untouched it still
does it so it happens regardless of human unput, and it's also unbounded
(as said in original message it once got to 6GB and would've continued if i
didn't close it)
closing the program and opening it back up resets the RAM usage.
