Yeah, it's been happening since the NW patch, at least for some.
Maple takes up all available CPU, and a lot of RAM, which causes it (and anything else you might be trying to run on the same computer) to be very sluggish.
We don't know why this is, nor why it only affects some people. Nexon hasn't even acknowledged that it's happening.

It doesn't seem like it "only affects some people." Its more along the lines of certain maps will constantly leak memory or something. For a 100% instance for me, root abyss area won't leak nor will FM, however I will leak on any computer if I try to go to Cygnus Garden and fight the boss. Just don't misunderstand and don't mix up which maps did leak and walk to another map that didn't and try to relate them together.

On my main comp, this always, always happened to be every time I went into Vellum. I would have been lucky to get out of there alive and not DC'd.

The leaked memory thing is about as bad as Google Chrome tabs using a ridiculous amount of memory. My computer goes into 60%+ memory use and a good amount of CPU usage while on Maple and using Chrome. I can't believe they've taken so damn long to not consider fixing this.
