      I'm running a few variations of an ALM simulation, but have noticed APDL slowing over time. I ran and timed a few repeats of the exact same script, and even though nothing changes, the time it takes to solve gradually gets slower and slower. I have plenty of RAM available, all the scripts start with 'FINISH
      /CLEAR, START'. Is there anything I should check/try?

      Please be more specific; which process?  There are a few.

      There have been issues in the past with /clear, not completely clearing the database.  Do you see the database size increasing?

      The .rdb files are all the same size

      OK, that's not it then.
