Ardour (by the way of the os) for the cache of the soundfiles.

Linuxsampler (by the way of the os) to hold more of the samples data in=20

memory.

Aeolus (by the way of the os) to cache the generated samples.
The only thing to make disk-access faster apart from faster disks and=20

controllers is to have more memory for caching. And the more, the better.
And please don't start arguing why you should use 64bits if all is well wit=

h=20

32bits. That is exactly the kind of argumentation the citation above came=20

from. And here is another one: "I think 5 computers is enough for the while=

world". (Luckily the world didn't listen to neither of these two guys.)
