For a full-screen frame on a modern display, we're talking 2M pixels for
the frame, so you're suggesting to place the limit at 60x60x2M = 7G
pixels... I'm afraid that's clearly in the "crash&|DoS" zone.

Maybe the limit should be expressed in megabytes or in total number of
pixels (rather than in only one dimension) and relative to the screen
size rather than the frame size.
