[PEDA] Router crashes (P99SE/SP6)

I'm having a bit of bother with the autorouter [cue cries of 'and you're surprised?']. Specifically, when I start it routing on a 3-4 hour job before heading home at the end of the day there's a high probability of client99se.exe not responding, with 100% CPU utilisation showing in Task Manager
