Why does a 150 kontakt instances (cubase) project load at 140 go of Ram

gamaliwa

Hello, so I am doing a test project, 570 kontakt instances of CSS Violins 1

all instances are purged

only 150 have midi data, and had been "update sample pool"

yet the project takes 35min to load, and it loads at 144 go of ram.

The project weight only 1.15 go

I have seen a youtube video of someone running a cubase project in mac with 1600 tracks loaded in vepro, the project loads at 130 gb of ram.

I am on windows 11 and using 4x48gb of ddr5 ram

clearly something is off, it seems like it's trying to load all samples at the beginning of the project then purge them ?
