i understand what you are trying to say ... but here we usually deal with some 100 MB whereas kontakt usually has to deal with some MB ... just try to load the same amount of data (in one run) as with VI/VE
app to os: i need 250 MB memory, not to be paged out
os to app: is available, here is the starting address, go on punk
app to filesystem: read data from disk
app to OS: store data in memory
read - write - read- write - read - write - read - try to write - !no more memory addresses available - undefined condition - crash!
similar thing happens in logic and you cannot say if it happens at 3, 3.2 or 3.5 GB used memory ... (application locks or gets unstable)
i'm sure the developers will try to iron out as much inconveniences as they can with the upcoming minor version update.
