? Huh, thats why I said "by the way of the os". I mean that the more memory
you have (and do not use for more bloated applications:), the more memory the
system uses for caching of disk-access.
If aeolus is small that is good. Because that leaves more memory to cache the
samples (outside of aeolus itself).
