sorry"-speach only for windows users or is there some truth in it for us
linux users also?
Your sample library will almost certainly increase over time. Which
would you rather do - have to worry about what samples were available,
or just load them all and get on with life? ::-)
You'll also get more benefits - even if you can fit your whole sample
library into 256M, you're loosing that much memory that would otherwise
be used for disk cache. As a result, your system performance will
suffer.
