[Rwp] a fun Reaper crashing experience

[Chris Belle]

My understanding is that in the 32 bit fversion of dimension pro that 
large sample libraries bog it down much more than the 64 bit version.

I have found this true even in sonar that for big libraries, I'm better 
off running 64 bit sonar with 64 bit dimension pro.
