I often have projects with multiple maps and layouts, most of the time in excess of 10 of each. I am opening and closing the layouts very frequently. I have noticed that the more maps and layouts I have ever opened during a pro session will degrade application performance significantly. For example, by the time I get to editing my 6th map and associated layout (I closed the first 5 maps and layouts once I was done with them), the Pro UI is pretty much unusable. The delay for any interaction becomes 30 seconds, or sometimes minutes. I then have to save and close the project and reopen it for the application to become usable again.
I have noticed this appears to be directly related to the number of items in the TOC ever opened during the session. I can have many maps with few layers, no problem. But if I have just a few maps with about 12-15 layers, everything slows down very quickly. Attribute tables becomes useless, interacting with the TOC is very laggy, etc. I notice at this point in task manager, Pro is using a great deal of RAM (in excess of 10GB sometimes) and every interaction can use up to 60% of my CPU, which is a lot for a 32 core beast.
Therefore, I believe there has to be a way to "clear" the Pro session for a map or layout that is closed. When you click the "x" on the map or layout, it should be unloaded from the RAM or what have you so you do not have to restart Pro every 5 maps/layouts you work with.
