Not a csound expert, but I'd imagine that every time you hit play,
cecilia it is creating a temporary file (maybe a csound score file)
which the csound enigine is using to do the processing and render the
current settings. This is probably normal.
According to
http://cecilia.sourceforge.net/man/main.html (note that
it does indeed create temporary files):
"What happens when you push "Play" in the Main CECILIA window top
* The editor pane corresponding to the channels selected in the
Main window is read. For each interface variable, a new invisible
instrument is created and its value is passed on via the global name.
* Sampling rate, ksmps and number of channels are read in the Main
window and substituted at the top of the orchestra section.
* Temporary files are written and Csound is called with all the
selected options and the two temp files.
* The sound is written to the "named" file or previewed in
real-time to DACs."
