EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Everything's going along fine and has been for weeks, suddenly the 
audio stutters as it starts to play an EXS24 sequence, Logic crashes 
with no warning. Can't seem to find what's causing it anything until....

Finally I pin it down to Virtual Memory. When it's on, and I play a 
SINGLE note from my MIDI keyboard, the sample plays for about one 
second then stops, and the "Could not get data in time" performance 
figure increments. This is playing ONE SINGLE NOTE from the keyboard 
with Logic stopped, whereas before it had been playing many voices 
simultaneously. Same thing happens no matter what instrument/sample I 
load.

Switching off virtual memory fixes it, but what happened? Why was it OK 
one minute and not the next? I've benchmarked my harddrive and it's 
above average for the computer I'm running (G4 1gig). Also done the 
usual repair permissions etc. The drive can't have suddenly become 
super-fragmented.
