Bidule: Thinking about it - yes as a plugin, each VE instance will occupy the same space. So I seem to be, again, missing your point! Sorry.

Ben, I'm probably not explaining it very well. If you really would like a more detailed explanation of how it helps, then I'm happy to give it, but I don't want to waste your time if it is not really useful to you.
At the moment it is all theoretical anyway, as Mac does not have 64bit applications yet. However, I'm assuming that this will be rectified soon(assuming that Apple has already released the required code), and in that situation you could well be loading many GB of samples within multiple plugin instances. In that case my workaround could work very well for you.
Over the next few weeks I'll he temporarily adding one more 8GB slave to my setup, and that will most likely increase my writing template to around 10GB. I certainly won't want to be hanging around for 20 minutes to load each project!
