I am using Blue, but i think this is more a Csound thing.
I have this instrument: flooper and diskin2 both load in 4 samples into
memory, as i notice when i look at the Memory and Swap History of my Linux
Mint system with 4G of memory.

I was using 4 rather big files with flooper/diskin2 and 30 notes to play the
files at different speeds, skipping some samples etc.. With every note the
same 4 files are read back in, and after a few seconds i am out of memory
and my system is trying to use the swap disk. At one point the swap is full
- end of story.

I'd like to understand why Csound is not just loading the 4 samples just
once and use the notes to read those samples?
Is there a more memory economic way possible?

Flooper (by design) loads all samples into memory, and does not share it. If you use flooper2 instead, you’ll
see a difference. It just reads from the shared function table, with little extra memory use.

Diskin2 does not load much into memory, it reads from disk as required.

Good to know, thanks!

this week i will do a test with flooper, flooper2 and diskin2, using 30
notes with the same 4 soundfiles, and monitor the memory usage. 
I will report back so the developers can decide if all is according to
expectations.

flooper will have a high memory usage, that’s a fact and it is what it is. Not designed for the
type of thing you are trying to do.

This issue has been solved and was entirely my fault. 

I had the loading of the (big) samples inside the local instrument. So for
every note the same samples were loaded in again and again for every new
note. Until i ran out of memory and the swap file kicked in...
Loading samples in the Global Orchestra solved the memory problem as the
samples are loaded in only once.

It works nicely now.
