Physical RAM is running low [ERROR]

[Intini]

I am getting the error "Physical RAM is running low. For better performance, install more RAM."
I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14.3, 32GB RAM, Pro Tools 2018.12.0 and it started when loading EW Play 6.0.9 - never saw it before.
While HW Monitor shows Memory used 13,80 GB and Cached Files 10,51 GB and Swap Used 0 bytes, Pro Tools shows 100% memory used.
Since there are reports of the same problem with different plug-ins and also in previous versions of Pro Tools it may be a Pro Tools memory allocation issue.
Perhaps someone from Avid could comment?

With Play instruments are you streaming from disk or loading all to ram? Sometimes Play will through up a warning about how much ram a certain instrument would take up if you decide to NOT stream from disk. THAT error can be ignored.

Also EW Play is not yet considered compatible with Mojave.

One tip that do wonders for me is to turn off Reverb Multithreading from EW play settings menu . This releives a lot of weight from the plugin processing . I use it on mojave too and with this setting enable i got a lot of performance issues .
