just a thought: if logic (exs) finds aliases instead of the "real" files in
the directory it is looking for (afaik you cant point it anywhere but the
standart) it has to look further following the path the alias is heading...

dosn't this involve _more_ hd action?

just a thought, which might show that all that "optimization techiques" are
two sided and of yesterday, if you ask me.
i keep all samples and programms on a sepereat drive, but just for mobility
my 2 byte.
