What
single application - apart from Mozilla - really needs more than
4GB?
Ardour (by the way of the os) for the cache of the soundfiles.
Linuxsampler (by the way of the os) to hold more of the samples data in
memory.
Aeolus (by the way of the os) to cache the generated samples.
Absolutely not
true.
Aeolus takes around 120 MB of which 40 MB are shared (mostly X11).
My main machine at home has just 512 MB. I've used it to mix 24-track
Ardour sessions, it also runs Aeolus and Linuxsampler (and also both
together) without any problem.
? Huh, thats why I said "by the way of the os". I mean that the more memory
you have (and do not use for more bloated applications:), the more memory the
system uses for caching of disk-access.
If aeolus is small that is good. Because that leaves more memory to cache the
samples (outside of aeolus itself).
