[QUOTE="giulio, post: 519627, member: 28677"] How much ram do you have? Photos are compressed. To use the actual pictures, it must be decompressed in ram/swap. So figure the memory requirements are about 3x the file size. Guessing 2MB/image compressed, 6MB decompressed, x 15,000 images... that's 90 GB of working memory. Of course, iPhoto uses caches and thumbnails. But still... you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
