Why does Photoshop leak memory so fucking fast when I use my pen tablet?

After like half an hour of drawing the memory usage climbs up to 2 GB usage and then the application goes all haywire, giving an error whenever I try to click File->Save and other actions. It's not like I'm doing something retarded like creating dozens of layers and tons of effects and plugins, I'm just using the brush and eraser tools.

I don't have this issue with other programs like Krita and SAI.

Should I just settle for GIMP and figure out its weird interface?

Did you check the preferences for gpu acceleration and cpu and ram usage?

Check your performance settings, you might just be saving 500 history states

The memory seems to only climb up if I'm drawing with the pen. It's as if each pen stroke is worth 100MB or some shit. Regular image ediiting with just the mouse doesn't seem to be an issue.

Correction:

I just measured it myself by watching task manager. Every short stroke (brush or eraser) is worth about 2-3 MB. Longer strokes are worth about 5 MB. Memory usage keeps climbing despite the 50 max history states.

I also checked how PaintTool Sai (sai.exe) manages its memory, and it is much more conservative in that each brush stroke I make is worth about 100KB.
