Its origin came from that benchmark in the old forum:
* I'm using a better PC now, that is why I don't notice it put down Wings performance.
** of course, those times were related to mesh create processing. The entire Wings object creation still takes a few seconds (for me).

In the past I was limiting resolution to an image with the biggest dimension equal to 384px.
Now, it's limited by resolution to 147K (w*h) and the minor dimension must have at least 3px. So, 36Kpx is related to 50% of that initial dimension limit - 192Kpx^2.

I think that you just need to use Edit->Purge undo history and - maybe - wait a little for garbage collect.
