Well, you may be missing the reason for that (see below).

I don't think that's fair. EXS24 works extremely well, with 
substantially lower CPU than anything else on the Mac. If you really 
want to run one EXS from RAM, set up a RAM disk and copy the samples 
you want to run in RAM onto it. But the reason you use streaming is 
to use longer samples than can fit into RAM, so I can't see any 
earthly reason to want to do that.

I think that EXSs talking to each other is a good thing. It means 
that shared samples between multiple programs only get loaded once.

Or just run samples on a Windows machine and shorten your Logic 
loading time.  :)
