ok, so there is the answer, thanks. it is not a memory leak then. why did you
decide against tiles? the files in question are indeed compressed tif's so
thumbnailing one of those needs multiple Gb of memory. I think that in such
situations it is critical to disable thumbnailing then, although this is
something that is hard to come at - what about somebody who has 1 Gb of RAM (I
have 4), and has files, of, say 250 Mb? This person will be in trouble as I am.

So if you do not plan to use tiles, would there be a possibility to use the
embedded thumbnail (that GIMP generates, for example?). I haven't tried in a
long time, but digikam has always had problems with embedding previews in tif
files.
