Regarding pictures... Yes, in the past high mega-pixel images were be a problem but that's changed. To work around the memory issues with pictures, the picture is read in chunks and downsized in memory before being displayed. This has a negative side effect of it takes longer for the first picture to be displayed. In a slideshow, all subsequent pictures come up immediately because the "next" one is queued up.
