Do you think that this would help? Because in the end, I think that everything has to be rendered as a grayscale bitmap image (the screen display needs it) then it doesn't matter how many colors the input has, the
output memory requirements may be the killing [pun intended] factor.
Some more things to try out: use imagemagick or Irfanview or <tool-of-choice> to actually do the conversion and see if it makes a difference. Also, does the format matter? i.e. GIF vs PNG vs JPG -- if you can convert all images to one format and see if using one results in less crashes i.e. less memory use, then it'd make more sense to develop a plugin that would resize the image to the 1150's display size and save in the least-memory-consuming format. I really wish I had that 1150 with me to test all this...
