A very strange FPS fix

[Shaun]

After playing on KSP for a long time (I'm currently 4 hours into a subsonic circumnavigation), FPS drops a lot, presumably due to memory. This is the x64 bit version of KSP.

I'm capped at 60fps. After an hour or two, fps drops below 60fps ever so slightly. After a few more hours, we're getting close to 30 FPS. At this point, the game timer slows down periodically.

Interestingly, opening the task manager seems to relieve the issue; memory usage drops and my tower fans suddenly relax. I tried again after dropping below 50 FPS, and what do you know; it works again!

I wish there was a mod that could constantly dump this old memory...
