You are talking about some 1.4 MB per JPG image, try to save the same picture as *.bmp and you will see the reason.

Further JPG is compressed and will uncompressed in memory.

I use PNG if possible. It has no compression artifacts at all and is very good for heavily compressable images such as screenshots, which have large areas of gray. I make no claim about memory usage, though.
