I´m not sure, if I have exactly the identical problem. (In my case I load logic, and everything is fine, until I load a Vienna Ensemble plugin, which claims to use 440 MB of samples, but in total I loose about 1,4 GB Ram) Would it help, if I send pictures of my activity monitor before and after loading VE?

james, david: apples and pears .... while david reports to loose 800 MB in commit charge just by opening the VE you tell us abot (loosing?) 32 MB when loading solo strings.
i wrote, that i could fix a similar issue david had removing a collection with obviously corrupt data.
some mac guys tell us they notice increase of the _inactive_ memory (i posted already a link to what inactive memory is) - so where is the common denominator?
sorry, either i'm too blind to see it or there is none.
each operating system has some sort of memory management which can in mosT cases not be detirmined by an application.
i would exclude reasons like chipset, memory, processor (except it is really faulty of course, but this would be another story) - more interesting would be *features* like pre-fetch, running services, pagefile settings and this kind.
see the thread about XP giga and memory management: defined situations give defined results, and even those differ between identical machines sometimes. we should choose a more systematic approach, because you have to know i'm not the engineer responsible for setting up your machines guessing your details - i can run a defined series of test on the few machines i have under my control and we can discuss issues, ideas and solutions here.
thx, christian
ps: of course a screenshot with all relevant information from activity monitor/taskmanager helps ...

Hi everybody,
I have to clarify my situation because I see it referenced incorrectly a few times.
My RAM gets lost EVERYTIME I run ANY VSL product!
It happens with VI, VE, and Directory Manager (DM).
When I launch the VI or VE during start up they do a scan for locations of the data. I can hear my hard drives getting scanned. It happens after the syncrosoft dongle light goes on and off a few times then the Committed RAM skyrockets.
It seems like its loading samples into RAM but I don't have any default patches or presets setup.
When I launch the Directory Manager it happens when I hit the Scan button. I can hear it scan my hard drives
and then the RAM skyrockets.
Its loading samples into memory??? but why?
If I shutdown the application the RAM never goes back down.
If I relaunch any of the applications (VI, VE, or DM) then they launch without taking
further RAM since the scan was already done previously.
I have to reboot the machine to retrieve my lost RAM.
Anyway, just wanted to clarify.
Thanks,
David

david, is it still the same issue we started talking about (commit charge increases, but we don't see any process listed using it)?
i had this too for a few hours but have not been able to get this (mis-)behaviour back so far ...
