No, it's not normal, its a bug. Some bugs causing memory leaks were
already fixed in trunk but some others may exists. If you have any
usefull informations on how to find that bug, we'll take that. Are you
using Canon Raw files ?

F-Spot only keeps the thumbnails it needs in memory. Reducing the size
won't help a lot. Reducing the picture range is neither a solution. 4000
pictures is totally ok. Some users deals with 30.000 photos or so...

hope so, maybe it's already fixed in trunk...
