Clear the Clipboard When Done Copying / Pasting

Do you use the clipboard often for cutting, copying, 
and pasting text files, pictures, or objects? 

If so, placing large objects in the clipboard, especially 
on low-memory systems, may cause the system to 
operate slower. When you are done using the clipboard, 
therefore, it is to your advantage to clear the clipboard 
to eliminate any possible speed decreases due to a large 
amount of memory taken up by the clipboard object. 

To do so, just open up a Notepad document, press the 
space bar, then highlight the space bar and select 
"Edit - Copy." 

Now your clipboard has been cleared, replaced with just one character.
