>From the comparison:

    Sample buffering is the process of loading a small part of each sample
    into the installed RAM to play back instantly when a note on a keyboard is
    struck. By pre-loading a small amount of the sample into RAM, it gives the
    hard drive enough time to access the rest of the sample, and finish the
    job.

Wasn't there discussion earlier on this list about this simple technique being
patented?
