If your layer is 16x16 though, I imagine that the per-layer thumbs are taking more memory than the layer data! I think it'd still be a fair comparison if you closed the layers dialog -- an image with 1000s of layers is probably not expected to be managable sanely with what amounts to a list paradigm. -- Adam D.
