I'm just now starting to get into particles and this happens constantly to me. It's a shame!
In my case this issue is directly related to the 'Playback Time' feature. When clicking between related particle systems, the 'Playback Time' will continue increasing. This means that if you are working on your particle system settings for 5 minutes, setting up collision effects, sub emitters, trail renderers, etc, when you are done and click over to another related particle system, the entire system recalculates for a playback time of 300+, which instantly freezes my system, unless of course you stop the simulation before clicking over (every time).
