============= original message ================ I presume that there is some problem with some graphic library (imlib?) which the image viewer software(s) is/are trying to use to display tiff images.

Any Pointers?

Rajen. ============= end of original messsage ==========

Check out imlib_config for options and also your X server display colors setting. See if it is set to million colors. One possibility is that its eating up memory in color replacements. Another possibility being, using the stock kernels. I have faced really bad hdd trashing using stock RH kernels. They somehow eat up memory.
