Problems with crashing w/ big jitter patches?

Hey,

I'm facing issues with Max crashing when trying to run big jitter patches :/

I've seen a few threads from people with the same problem but few real tips for reducing this. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try to stop this from happening? I've tried closing all other running programs and tabs and only having Max open. And tried shaving down the heavy objects I'm using.

(I've heard the more visual aspects draw more juice, say jitter matrixes and such- is this true?)

Best wishes,
