I have 1/2 your RAM, and 1/3 your overall vm+physical memory, and probably about 2/3rds of your processor, especially since I use PC133 while you're invariably using DDR. You didn't answer any of my questions about your setup -- is there a need to run jack + ecasound + the python stuff, or would a "clean" jack-only recording module be acceptable to you? I've written a very stable + reliable multi-process/multi-threaded recording tool which runs 24x7x52 to log two phonelines' audio for legal archiving purposes.
