So I had 4GB of .bmp images on my disk, and just out of curiosity, I wanted to see if Apple's claim that coverflow and quick look didn't slow down the system at all.
So I scrolled from the first bmp to the last using a combination of just coverflow in finder and also quicklook.
I was impressed! It really flew through them fast.
I was less impressed when afterwards I checked my RAM and found nearly 3GB of unreleased memory in Finder though![]()

yeah it really is impressive how well it all works, what really is disturbing is scrolling through an image sequence, of animation or video, etc. using cover flow, it is almost impossible to actually see what is going on but you know you are seeing something.
you have RAM for a reason, if it was 4GB of images what can you expect? of course it uses RAM, as that is what RAM is for.
