I stumbled upon a particular situation yesterday, and I would like to know if you think this is an Inkscape issue, or just a twisted use case.
I wanted to import about 35 jpg pictures (from an old digital camera, so not huge resolutions but still). Inkscape managed to import and display them. I moved them onto the canvas and worked for about 2 minutes and then my hardisk started spinning tremendously, and the kernel shot down Inkscape. (I have no SWAP and 4 GB or ram)
I tried to load my document again, and noticed Inscape was almost filling my 4 GB of ram. I tried to do the very same thing with OpenOffice draw and the memory usage was "only" of 0.7 GB.
- Did you link or embed the jpg images? - What console messages do you get when Inkscape crashes?
Possibly related:

Depending on the console error messages you get, see also the reports I tried earlier to compile as a list in an earlier thread under a): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/34560/focus=34564
