In my current project using Qgis 2.99, turning off the rasters uses 16 GB, turning them on uses 52 GB

I do not believe it is independent from the number of layers that are being displayed.

Previous versions of the software did not cache every single raster (the number of rasters actually being displayed on the canvas at any one time is a small fraction of the total number in the project)

Hi Patrick,

This uses some memory (~ canvas width pixels * canvas height pixels * 8 preview images * 32 bit RGBA), so let's assume 50 MB to 100 MB.

This consumption is independent from the number or type of layers.

So to put it another way this is the reason why Qgis wants to use a huge amount of memory (40 GB) when I have a lot of raster images loaded in the background.

What is this "preview job" function?



Its application logic to prefetch / pre-render offscreen content in anticipation of user panning the map.
