[QUOTE="giulio, post: 419294, member: 28677"] It takes long because photos are stored in a compressed state. A 2mb photo can actually take 20MB. It depends on the compression. One of my 2.1MB JPEG photo opens up to a 14.4MB file. So a hundred photos could require about 2GB of working memory - when you run out of ram you'll start to swap to HD. And that doesn't even count the overhead of actually [I]working[/I] with all that data. TS stated his files are between 2MB and 4MB = 15MB and 30MB * 100 = wowGB [/QUOTE]
