When you install the recent version of Imagecache, and your PHP installation is only allowed to use less then 96M, you get the following warning on /admin/logs/status:


It is highly recommended that you set you PHP memory_limit to 96M to use imagecache. A 1600x1200 images consumes ~45M of memory when decompressed and there are instances where ImageCache is operating on two decompressed images at once.

Would there also be instances where Imagecache operates on more than 2 decompressed images at once, thus probably needing more than 96M of memory? Or is the 'two decompressed images at once' a maximum? What would happen, for instance, when you have a content type 'photo report' with 15 imagefields, and you allow people to upload full size (as in 1600x1200) images?

you've got to adjust the memory depending on your needs. obviously the lower you can set the limit the better.
