Post Re: 10.3.10 unstable

The Disk Cache (kmmserver in Activity Monitor) is a separate process from Pro Tools. If the System Usage window shows that your Timeline Cached meter is 100% and your Disk Cache meter is less than 100%, then the Disk Cache setting is not the problem.

If you want the Pro Tools application to use less memory, then run as many plug-ins as you can as DSP plug-ins and set all unused tracks to inactive. If you are using virtual instruments, and those instruments can use an external memory server (i.e. Native Instruments), turn that function on, as it will reduce how much memory is used by the virtual instrument within Pro Tools.
