Take 3 Examples

NCPL.........8,500 Albums approx.......@20k for each 170 pixel image = ~170Mb (assuming that all Covers are cached, which I think is very unlikely in this case)

Ratbert.......2,500 Albums = 50Mb

Jack D........650 Albums = 13Mb

It's likely that Meridian are setting an Upper Limit on the amount of Memory that the Cache uses.......and then uses Purge and Refresh from Storage as is required as the User moves thru the App

However, because the symptoms vary between different users........and people like Tintin experienced no crashes after turning off another background app..........I think there other factors in play AS WELL AS the Meridian App Memory / Cache management itself
