I'm using 3Ds Max 2016
My specs are:
GTX 960M
i5 6300HQ @ 2.3 GHz (4 CPUs)
8 GB RAM
Storage SSD only
I find myself constantly having to restart 3Ds Max because it mysteriously begins lagging after let's say 30 minutes of working. After it re-opens it's immediately fast again, until I have to re-open it again. Bug? Memory leak? Is it on my side?

Max stores a lot of stuff in memory while working you can clear out its cache by some simple commands mentioned on this page:

Download and install the latest service pack. 2016 had an extreme bug early on that would consume all your system RAM. That's likely what you are experiencing. Install SP3.
