when I query the size of a polybuffer~ object (getsize msg), I get a number of bytes which is more than double the size of the folder I load.

is this normal? Am I missing something?

If I need to load a lot of files, should I consider to have more than 2 times the amount of available RAM?

I hope I explained myself…

thank you
