In gallery script, it's usually the resizing (or opening) of images that
require a lot of peak memory. The overall memory usage is usually pretty
low. If it's the resizing that does it, it's not very likely the memory
usage will increase dramatically any further, the peaks will usually be
around the same, allbeit maybe more often. Don't forget the destroy()
statements en save/cache the resized images, and I'd think you'd be
allright.
