Matlab is stalling after every command

I am processing relatively large data sets ~1000x200000 int16 with Matlab 2012b (64bit). I have more than enough RAM; there are 20Gb free. Every time I type a command, no matter how simple, matlab drives up the CPU usage to >100% (multicore) and stalls for about 10 seconds. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming. I have tried multiple restarts but to no avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Do you have the Variable Editor window displayed? If so try turning it off.
Could it be that your current directory has many (>30000) files? I ran into this issue when generating lots of data files. Clearing/moving these files out of the working path fixed my issue.
