The first time you load up a new instrument it will take a few extra 
moments (or more depending on how many samples are in the instrument) 
to locate the samples. Once this is done, the EXS is "smart" enough to 
remember the pathway for the next time you load it in. So the delay 
while it is searching only happens the first time.

As far as wether or not that initial search is speeded up by having an 
alias of the samples in your Logic folder; I don't think so. I've never 
heard or read anywhere that it helps. But I've never actually done a 
back to back to back comparison myself.

I hung on to OS 9 as long as I could. But when summer crossed paths 
with my then new MDD dual 1.25 G4 in my non air-conditioned studio; 
nature and fan electronics colluded to leave me no choice but to switch 
:-)
