Actually I have a query about this too.  My understanding is that because of 
patents (Nemesys licenced them for sample streaming in Gigasampler) Emagic was
unable to call their sample streaming 'sample streaming" even though audio
streaming is exactly what the hard-disc recording and playback part of Logic
does. They call it virtual memory -- what I would like to know is whether the
samples are streamed from the location you have installed them on your audio
drive (the logical place) or whether they are streamed from a buffer in the
swap file of somthing -- like other virtual memory works. 

I suspect that it is the former  -- especially due to the speed with which
large instruments load but if it is the latter that would have a lot of bearing
on this subject. Anybody know for certain either way?
