Touchdesigner files slowing down almost to a stop after multiple saves

Bugs
1

After working on a file for some time (approximately 2 weeks and about at least 70 backups), when opening the project file, Touchdesigner slows down to 1 FPS and the entire Touchdesigner program slows down to an unusable state. However, if I start Touchdesigner with a new project, it works fine.

This has happened for all my previous project files. I have even tried to recreate them from scratch but again after some time, the same issue occurs.

If you hold middle click on nodes, you can see the cooktime, which will help you find the part of your network which causes the heavy load. Also in the Palette, you can find the Probe tool. If you drag that in your network it shows you immediately what the heaviest parts are. Then keep disabling suspect parts of your network to isolate the problem, until you see the fps climbing.
