 Hi,

 A couple of things that stand out, WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT is for the admin
 side of the site and WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is for the visitor side. If these
 were updated in the next version to more friendly names like
 WP_VISITOR_MEMORY_LIMIT and WP_ADMIN_MEMORY_LIMIT, it would be easier to
 set up these limits.

 How is the memory limit decided for WordPress? I've overridden the
 defaults since my server has 1GB max memory for PHP, so I've set them to
 512 and 1024 respectively but is there a reason why the memory limits are
 set to arbitrary figures and not a percentage of the limit?
