It seems the Map Tool has a memory leak and some CPU troubles..
Ive had the program since the 2.6.2 update, steadily mappping the area around me, tool works wonderfully, until today when i opened it instantly maxed out my CPU use and climbed in memory usage until it neared 2,000,000K. During this time the tool would become unresponsive, the tiles loading extremely slowly until they all finally loaded, wich dropped the CPU back down to normal, and memory reset back to 80,000K.
Thinking that it was just a one-time problem i proceeded with no further issues, until 10 minutes ago after a computer restart, i loaded up the tool and it did the same thing, only much slower and now whenever i attempt to move the map veiw (zoom, move the veiw, etc.) it will spike up in CPU/RAM again and become unresponsive until it finishes loading.
Heres a screenshot of my settings. (Filepaths blanked for privacy, dont judge me..)

AMD FX-3850 8-Core 4.0Ghz (Not OCd)
32Gbs RAM
I was wondering if this is caused on my end possibly to many tiles, since i have the delete function off? or is it a bug in the loading process?
I hope these issues get resolved, i really like this tool for its ease of use and simplicity.
EDIT: Forgot to add Computer Specs.
