Comment (by djsteveb):

 I have noticed this problem several times. I think the infinite scroll is
 a factor, and there should be a checkbox to turn it off / chagne to
 pagination, and give an option to choose the amount of images / thumbnails
 that get displayed per page - with some of my wp sites 20-40 would be
 fine.. others I'd like to limit it to 10 in order to avoid the browser bog
 down / crash.

 I've noticed the issue gets worse if the images uploaded were higher
 resolution / bigger memory issues, and the thumbnails take longer to load
 and bog down the browser.

 This issue is terrible if you are an admin with a buddypress setup running
 rtmedia - in those cases all the images from all users are loaded into the
 'view media library' page - and it crashes often.

 Would love to see an admin menu / settings / where you could chose to do
 paginated media library viewing, and by default only load images that are
 uploaded by admin (not the other users) - and selections like this. So
 that you don't have to go to the crashing media library page to try to
 select options.
