This is fairly typical if you're using a lot of sample ram...for your  
system.  I  used a laptop for years and this was the way of  
things...don't worry...You can make great music on a  
laptop...but...you can finally get to where you overload the system  
entirely.  But sounds like you're working within what you're system  
can do.  If you get to the point where the song won't play....you can  
always bounce tracks or freeze tracks to relieve the load.  Bouncing  
seemed to work best for my laptop.

hope this helps
