This is an issue that happens every time.  
I have a windows machine with 3050Ti gc and i9 processor.

When creating a model, after a while, the application becomes sluggish, very slow responding to commands, selecting objects etc  
If I close the design and open again it becomes responsive again. Is the back history responsible for this?

This happens every 30 minutes if I’m changing a lot of features, every time.

Version: 5.521.6217.0 #30c67d09

Edit 1  
Just installed the latest version and still happened.  
5.530.6312.0 #a3578eb7

I have similar issues - it seems to be better if I clean up sketches and unneeded models as much as possible - keeping the polycount madness to a minimum, I suppose, though I don’t know that that’s the issue per se. It’s also an excuse for me to tidy up my workspace and keep to best practices, so that’s something.

I haven’t tried on a more powerful PC to see if this issue persists, but if I do, I’ll follow-up.

This problem has been with me since I started using it

I delete all my sketches after using them and don’t have a lot of polygons either.  
My guess is the number of changes made during the usage because it seems to become slow after a while using it, and it becomes even slower the more i use it
