  • Memory usage (growth) in Vienna Ensemble

     Dear community

    The context of my question is this: I run Sibelius 6.1 with Vienna Ensemble (version 2.0.3452) with Windows Vista SP2 [ ;(  ], on a Dell XPS 630I 64-bit quad cpu computer, and 8 GB memory. I load samples from Special Edition into 4 instances of  Vienna Ensemble.

    I don't know if it is a particularity of Vista, of Vienna Ensemble or Sibelius 6.1 (or somehting else I ignroe), but I noticed the memory consumption increases steadily. At the start, it will show, for example, 6.01GB used, and about 30 minutes later, while still working on the same piece and not loading any new instruments or samples (that I am aware of), the memory has managed to creep up to 7.25 GB.

    Is this a known feature? Is there a way to find this out if there is memory leakage? Or perhaps it is normal (e.g. VE may keep on loading extra things that I am not aware of)?

    Tks to all
