ArcGIS Pro shouldn't bog down computer after one day of use

[Bud]

Under normal circumstances, I can use my computer for several days at a time without it getting bogged down from open software. For example, I can have Google Chrome open, with ~50 tabs open, for days or weeks at a time, and not notice any performance problems from my computer. That's saying something, since Google Chrome is known to be a memory hog.

But with ArcGIS Pro, I just barely get a full day of use before Pro bogs down my computer -- to the point where the computer is unusable and needs a restart (even after closing Pro).

Could ArcGIS Pro be improved so that it doesn't eat up so much memory, requiring a restart?

Thanks Kory.

For what it's worth, I did a couple of things in Pro 3.1.0 that seemed to help in my particular case (I don't use feature services):

• Just have a handful of small layers in the map. Not dozens of large layers.
• Disable indexing (as @GoWest suggested):
  

I couldn't tell you which one of those things fixed my issue. Or if something else changed that I'm forgetting. But I thought I'd mention it in case it helps.
