Free Memory - Saving work quickly!

Question

Hi!
I'm currently using the ram hungry quantum leap symphonic orchestra with 2.5Gb of ram. I usually work upto my limit in reguards to ram and this poses the problem of frequently saving my work.
e.g. If I've only made a few midi changes within a song and I need to save the changes; it takes about 3-5mins (depending on the instruments) to load all the instruments up again due to the 'free memory' proccess reconfiguring the ram.
I understand that it's neccessary to free up memory when working with high powered sampled intruments, however, it does seem pointless to wait such a long time if you just want to save a few midi changes.
I've tried to changing the setting for 'empty trash after saving song' (preferences/global/song handling/) but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanx...

1: save your song again as project and choose move for all the questions they ask you
Here are a bunch of tips for getting the most out of your EXS24
FOR SMALLER CPU (G4) WITH MORE RAMS (2-4GB) try this:
Open EXS24, go to options>virtual memory
for Disk Drive Speed select "Slow"
for Hard Disk Rec. Activity select "Extensive"
Then Apply
Doing this will release pressure from the hard disk and the CPU when you are loading samples.
It also release pressure from the HD/CPU when you are recording EXS24 or playing back sounds through EXS24.
FOR BIGGER CPU (G5) WITH LESS RAMS (1-2GB)
Open EXS24, go to options>virtual memory
for Disk Drive Speed select "Fast"
for Hard Disk Rec. Activity select "Less"
Then Apply
Doing this will release pressure from the RAMS when you are loading samples.
