I've had trouble today, for the first time in ages, with the transport saying "playing" but the play cursor not moving and no sound being played.

This has happened with a large (large for me) project that uses about 900MB of RAM and 71 to 75% CPU. 26 tracks, multiple SIR, ReaComp, 4 band EQ, Superwave instances; project uses both MIDI and audio. Maximum of 4 effects per track. The busiest track uses about 10% consistently the whole track. Wierdly this is a 10 second guitar track - but still uses 10% for the whole track.

The problems occur after I've been moving items around. Sometimes they manifest as non-playing (as above) and other times REAPER makes an unattractive buzzing sound. It's still possible to save and shutdown gracefully. Restarting REAPER will get the project running again.

I used to have the problem a lot when I only had .5GB RAM, first time since upgrading to 1GB.
