Well, let's reflect a moment. This involves administrating images..... wink

A good test would be to temporarily turn off each module (one at a time, then both, etc.) to see what change there might be in performance. If it isn't the modules, then the question is what other differences there are between Tiki's interactions with logged-in and not logged-in users. I guess these mostly involve permission checking but I don't know how much the complexity increases for logged-in people, since even anon users require some checking. Notice your database query stats in the bottom bar; see how much greater the figure might be when logged in.

Tikis often run fine with less than that. As I recall, the main symptom of low memory is pages not displaying at all or just partially. I don't know if slow (but eventually complete) displays are due to low memory.
