for playing mods/s3m/xm etc, 4mb is fine.

In practice it does become really annoying, so I don't think you'll use Masterpiece on a daily basis. In my experience 8MB is enough for a nice soundfont. Then again, simply having 2x16MB won't affect your performance, but it will give you an option to at least try larger soundfonts or use them occasionally.

I never sit and watch my retro PCs boot up. I hit the switch, walk away, and come back when it's done. Extra boot time means nothing to me
