Comment (by nacin):

 WordPress now defaults to 40 MB.

 In xmlrpc.php, we could do @ini_set( 'memory_limit', apply_filters(
 'admin_memory_limit', WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT ) );

 Note that in the admin, we normally only do that for administrators
 (unless the user is doing something like editing an image). I am not
 ''too'' concerned about the potential for a denial-of-service via memory
 exhaustion, but I suppose it is possible. Think a multi-call situation for
 an under-privileged user. We could wait until login() to issue such a
 memory_limit call.
