Selenium Chromedriver slowing down after repeated tests, eventually stops

I know that Selenium is an automated testing tool, but i'm trying to use it for RPA instead (things to do with my work environment)

I've gotten the java code down, and it runs exactly how i want it. It takes data from an excel sheet, converts the data into java objects, then enters data into a web application. It works fine for the first 20-25 entries, then starts to slow down, and eventually crashes the application. I have a few thousand rows to enter.

I've tried starting the chrome webdriver with disabled cache, but doesn't solve the problem.

Here is the code for disabling the cache.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\\\DRIVERS\\\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability("applicationCacheEnabled", false);
WebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver(cap);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 20);
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) webDriver;

I'm using a for each loop to key in the data.

/* Add vehicle data */
            for(VehicleData vehicleData : testDataList) {

                Thread.sleep(2500);

                /* Add new inspection */

Error is "Timed Out Connecting to Chrome"

Is it an issue with the chrome cache filling up? If so, must i clear it every 30 or so entries?

Thanks,
