Having tried out Liquid Rescale I'm very impressed. But does anyone have 
an idea about the size of image it can deal with in terms of memory 
requirements (I presume the Gimp setting Tile Cache size)?

I've crashed it with a 700MB jpg setting Tile Cache Size to 3 GB (using 
Linux Mandriva 2007.0).
