It was several years ago I settled on these arguments, memory fails me somewhat.
Tt one point my machine needed this to survive certain operations,
probably disk intensive operations, loading / saving large projects.
The RT performance I have today is much better so I'm not entirely
sure if I need both.
Another thing is coping with bad plugins, I just lots and sometimes I
encounter denormal issues. This is on a dual core machine so the gui
is still workable so with the settings I use I mostly have time to
disable the plugin before anything worse happens.
