Pixel size is exactly relevant. Whilst RW stores a PNG or GIF or JPG inside the database in that compressed format, as soon as you display it in a tab then it get stored in memory as a standard uncompressed multi-coloured picture. This uncompressed picture will always take up the same amount of memory for the same resolution image - so all 3000x3000 images will take up the same memory when displayed in a tab.
As you know, since you've been on the forums for a while, this is a known limitation which has various work-arounds.
