FAILURE IN SERVER /s_new out of real time memory

Questions
#1

I am getting this warning when triggering about 200 or so of a Synth. I think this is because of a restricted memory allocation default value? What are the risks and how could I set the allocation range to something higher?

#2

What are the risks

None.

how could I set the allocation range to something higher?

See ServerOptions.memSize. The default is 8192 KB, just raise it as needed.

Side note: should we maybe raise the default RT memory size? 8 MB might have made sense in the early 2000s, but in 2023 it could rather be something like 64 MB or 128 MB. (On my system the SC IDE takes 450 MB and the sclang process takes 200 MB.)
