I've been working on a max patch for the past month, when all of a sudden two days ago it became unbearably laggy and slow.. I also noticed the file size is now at 220 mb, which seems like an unusually large amount for a max file.

When opening max, I am only able to open up my patch about 20% of the time, without max crashing. I've identified the problem to be one of my sub patches, as each time I try moving, deleting or opening it up, max becomes unresponsive. Other than that sub patch, everything else seems to work fine and smoothly, when my main patch finally opens.

I've also tried opening the main patch up as a text file, but even then when I try search for the specific sub patch which seems to be causing the issue, or simply scroll through the lines of code, max becomes unresponsive.

Any suggestions to how I could get around this? Is there anyway I could delete the specific sub patcher without max freezing and unable to save?

Just in case it's of any relevance or help, my specs are:
