xli (the default image renderer in BL3) happily
displays a 1.6mb jpg with 16mb RAM and no swap.

I just tested this myself on an old laptop with
16mb RAM. With swap turned off, links2 failed
to display a 1.6mb jpg; however, after turning
on swap, it happily displayed the jpg (which,
I suppose, is a good example of the benefit of
swap). BTW, there wasn't a lot of swap activity:
the HD light flashed a couple of times (each
flash was less than a second).

Cheers,
Steven
