When people upload files to commons it would be nice if they would consider that not everyone out there has the latest PC hardware.
My pc is a pentium IV, 2 ghz, with 1gb of RAM and a 64 mb graphics card. Not the worst system out there I would think. I found a new map added to the India article on the nl.wikipedia. Which looked quite nice so I wanted to see the original version of it. I clicked on it and crash there went firefox. Now I have managed to open the file but it completely eats all of my computer resources! It eats 100% of my CPU capacity and 500 mb of RAM for just this file (add to this the 250 mb of RAM that gets eaten by the usual programs on my pc and I get very close to my max). So when people upload files please see to it that people with lower configurations can use it! Most people simply do not work with the latest hardware available!
It is this file btw: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/India_roadway_map.svg Waerth
