Summary0000798: too many regions crash X windows
DescriptionIf there are too many regions in a session, ardour crashes and takes my X session with it. Before this happens, the gui becomes extremely sluggish and the hard drive goes crazy. The DSP meter stays low, around 0.5% last time it happened. I have a simple session containing nothing but regions consisting of small snippets of a loop. 128 regions is fine in this session but copying and pasting to make it 128 causes the crash.
Additional InformationI regularly use this sort of technique to get that many regions. Perhaps it's an abuse of the technology but apart from this problem it works really well.

This bug is still present in beta22. I seem to have reported it twice by mistake, should I close this report or the older one?

could you try beta27, it has greatly improved handling of many regions
