Has anyone experienced Maya slowing down or even Maya taking longer to load a file that you have been copying smooth skin weights to?

I have been copying weights to my character using Copy skin weights. Every time I do it I notice it takes Maya longer to save the file out. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? How do I fix this problem? I've tried to use the optimize scene before I copy weights but it doesn't seem to help.

Some guys at work have been actually selecting all in the scene and exporting it right over the same file instead of running the clean. Seems to work quite well, though I have not tried it myself I'd be careful doing that and save a backup 1st. Maya seems to save a lot of crap from other files if you are importing numerous files. good luck!
