You mean boosting the size of the audio/video buffers to ride out the 
slow response of the mvpmc? No. Unfortunately once the mvpmc starts 
hitting the memory wall, it slows down continuously from that point 
forward, so increasing buffers will only delay the inevitable, and take 
up more memory.

Part of the problem is memory leaks, which as you'd expect get 
progressively worse over time. I first started seeing symptoms when I 
had in the hundreds of recordings. More recordings just make the 
symptoms noticeable sooner.

It shouldn't be a substantial problem to fix. Roger Heflin posted 
results of research he did, which I think identified some memory leaks 
that could be plugged. I proposed some architecture tweaks that would 
filter program data based on the selected recording groups, which if you 
use recording groups, could substantially cut down what needs to be 
loaded into memory. It all just waiting for the right person with 
adequate time, motivation, and skills to implement it...
