- Me too, because it looks like there's something seriously wrong here. I
- clipped a small two inch-by-two inch image from a page somebody faxed to me

- clipped image was only around 30k.

- When I went to load it, BME ate up the last five megs of RAM I had, then
- proceded to eat another three megs off my hard drive partition, and even
- then it only stopped because it ran out of space. Even when it ran out of
- space it wouldn't let me cancel the operation. I had to reset and manually
- delete the VM file.
-
- Eight megs to load a 30k image? Surely not. Interestingly, I loaded the
- image directly into Pagestream 3 without a hitch--it only appeared to eat no
- more than 40k. So what's going on?
-
- I haven't tried it with anything else yet, and I doubt I will until we at
- least get some preferences here to turn the damn thing off, and a Cancel
