Why do I not get low memory issues until images are draw on the screen?

low-memory

I am able to load over 200 UIImage objects into a NSMutableDictionary without any memorry warning issues.

When I start displaying them on the screen (after about showing 10-20 images) I get low memory warnings and an eventual crash.

Only about 8 images are displayed at anyone time.

Does it take additional memory to actually draw a UIImage on the screen?

No memory leaks are showing up and i've reviewed code for leaks many many times.
