What do you mean by "memory footprint"? Are you talking about raw size of the media file or is this something that is more taxing in a RAM sense. The theory proposed was that one to one SD renders make the Avid timeline response slow relative to 10:1 renders. Given these are heavily nested and layered sequences I feel it is there complexity that is bogging down the response of Avid when navigating the timeline etc.... For example the spinning ball before the image updates to a new position is more lengthy in heavily nested areas as opposed to other parts of the timeline. I really don't see how the resolution of the render would effect this kind of performance after all once rendered the Avid is using pointers and I feel it's the excess of pointer and tracking of all the layers that slows things down for the operator.
