hi there,
what is happening with winxp or scope that after few hours of working with scope projects + running cubase , scope platform begin to react slower and slower, if i click on synth or any other module i must wait to do something,
but midi plays normal in cubase, no delays or anything, just scope projects begin to react like a lazy b...h...

Does it recover once you push on some buttons tho? I have a similar problem.. seems SFP unloads itself from memory after it's not touched for a little while. Then, as soon as I click on SFP, it takes a moment to load itself back into memory, and then it runs normal from then on. It may be a swap file issue for me..
If yours doesn't recover after a loading pause, then it's probably something else.

well, didn't test it alot, but i think that sfp doesn't recover when i click on few buttons,
it works, but very slow, it's not a BIG problem, but i wonder why
i can restart win and works better again...

Sounds like something your running has a memory leak. could be wrong but the symptoms you describe are classic mem leak issues.
Cheers!

The only time I've had a problem like that was when I was playing "URU" for a while (which eats up memory with all its textures), and then Scope had to load itself out of virtual memory. But after a minute everything would be OK.
Windows has some memory management settings in "System", maybe you should take a look at it?

Could be a memory leak in one of the plugins, you can check that in Task Manager.
Or as Ken says, SFP tends to unload itself from memory. This causes momentary slowdowns on opening of GUI panels etc., but doesn't slow the system down permanently after a while. I tried the "Conservative SwapfileUsage=1" tweak in system.ini, which was used in Win98 where it reduced VM use to strict minimum, as RAM runs out. Maybe this tweak doesn't help for XP, or maybe it's inherent to SFP to offload memory.
Try monitoring what is going on in your system, fidox, TaskManager can be of great help.
