question re load times...

Lets say I am using a laptop (i7 processor 4 gig ram) and I want to use Sonar for live work, or simply for playing vst's at home.
 
If I have projects using vst's how quickly would a new project load in (if it has the exact same vst's), considering the vst's are already loaded in the previous project? Or it does not make any difference?
 
Oh and there would be barely any audio, mostly just the vst/s and perhaps the odd midi track.

    Yes, I find that some part of the VST's stay loaded in cache (at least their samples do).  But, I have never tried that?  Why don't you try and let us know.

    I think there would be a lot of variables between your system and anybody else's, so I think you might want to benchmark this yourself.
     
    Memory is definitely your friend, and if your laptop has a 2nd drive that will help, and if one or both drives are SSD that would also help load times.
