@eric and @ronald,
I was able to snag an 8GB module for the laptop to top it off at 12GB, and ran some cursory tests on it (still running the tests as i type, in fact). One hour later, and with 12 tracks mixed manually, memory seems to have gone stable at 700MB used by Cross.
Could this issue possibly be limited to units with 4GB memory (the 32-bit OS) that are running 64-bit operating systems? Might it be an issue of a memory overrun based on 64-bit OS expectations?
Just a thought by a former 16-bit software dev with a 2-bit mind.
