And also note: you can define a "load strategy" for sounds. So you can i.e.
keep certain sounds always cached, even if not used by any sampler part ATM,
which allows you to do program changes on a sampler part immediately, without
having to wait for load gaps. Have a look at this section:

http://www.linuxsampler.org/api/draft-linuxsampler-protocol.html#MIDI%20Instrument%20Mapping

My guess is that this is what you actually intended to approach.
