My MATLAB gets sluggish over time so I have to keep restarting it

My MATLAB gets sluggish over time so I have to keep restarting it. I think that when I'm running a heavy script quite a few times my computer's memory is not getting properly freed up after each one. Does anyone else get this?

Sorry - I missed that question. I'm using OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

If you're calling image or imshow a bunch of times that can slow things down, so call "cla reset" right before to clear out old images.

maybe write
clear all
close all
clc
at the beginning of your script to ensure you dont have a ton of variables or figures open in the background.

In this case clear all might be a valid answer. Better would be to figure out what is slowing things down, in the absence of that clear all is a nice hammer.

No, I do not get this. I will point back to one of the first questions I asked on Answers: href=""<http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1093-how-do-i-reset-matlab-to-its-launched-state</a>>
