I have no recursive functions and all my variables are small, no variable growing out of control because of an append. Threads don't have any access violations (they access arrayed variables, and only with their index number) and the GUI updates in a thread-safe manner with a timer. What should I look for when troubleshooting these "burn in time" types of issues? Windows platform exclusively for this particular app. *Edit* Found the issue. After narrowing down what thread it was freezing on with LiveView, I noticed it was doing a shell.writeline for no particular reason (remnant of early testing?) so it was probably filling some buffer up during each loop or something else. Commented it out and it works fine.
