Hi all!

Firstly, sorry for my ugly english, it is'nt my native language.


I've this trouble with ardour:

1. Run ardour. top indicate that ardour use 45 mb of memory.
2. Open existing session -- ardour use 140 mb now.
   Well, all right at this time. And I happy.
3. By example begin activate xfades, moving ranges, and zooming etc.
   Just edit existing tracks, not add new.
   After 5 min ardour begin to eat memory and when it use approx. 180-200 mb
   hard swaping beginning, and if i don't kill ardour, i'll force
   press reset button :'(.

Notes: ardour-0.9beta24, RAM 256 mb, 1.2GHz Tualatin, approx. 6 tracks, total
 session time 4 min, session have relatively many ranges, total size of sound
 files in directory sounds approx. 100 mb.

Anybody know what this? Bug, feature? Banal memory deficit?

Thanks beforehand for any answers/advices.

Hi all!

I forget to say that i was logged as root in situation described in previous
 message.

When I logged as ordinary user I saw another strange thing:

1. Open session -- ardour use 140 mb.
2. Select all in track (about 80 small regions) and NUDGE it...
   After hard job ardour use over 640 mb! Repeat this action one more
   and obtain over 990 mb ardour usage, ardour crash and "Out of memory"
   in messages file.

What is this? Anybody know?
