Tests were made using system monitor, running Windows 98 lite with file cache and virtual memory disabled.
The Creamware people have definitely been doing their homework when it comes to memory handling. One big change from software version 1.0 to 1.1 is that if you load more than one of a module, say a compressor, it seems to share a lot of code with the first one, making the second compressor only using some 100k of memory. This makes total memory usage a lot lower compared than 1.0. I'm afraid they screwed up the BlueSynth in the update, though...
