also, timidity will never load the whole instruments in a single
soundfont file. it will load only the single instrument in a sf
file.
it could load all WAVes into the RAM. FluidSynth apparently does.
BTW, which version of timidity are you using?
the one on SUSE 9.0 is relatively new, taken from timidity's cvs, but
i don't know about other distros. the sound quality (especially
soundfont) is pretty different between the latest tarball and the cvs
version.
I tried to use TiMidity++-2.11.3, but:
