 Currently, the PHP memory_limit is not automatically increased to
 `WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT` in Imagick, as it is in GD.

 This was initially done because Imagick uses significantly less RAM.
 From a basic test, an initial upload does clock at a lot less PHP memory
 used for a general iPhone 4 JPG upload (34mb peak used vs. 78mb peak).

 But, some users with with 32mb limits may have issues with Imagick, where
 they wouldn't have previously with GD.
