Well there are a few issues there. First, I suspect it's a reference to RAM, not disk space. Second, it's quite possibly been done more for the sake of iOS than OS X. And third, I suspect the excuse of memory is simplifying things -- I wouldn't be surprised if there were more to it.

Those messages are not about downloading things. They look like they might be a problem drawing icons, but there's no indication that there's any network traffic involved.

In fact I can see some similar messages here, and in each case they are followed by a quicklookd message. So I suspect that it's a case of QuickLook wanting to draw an icon, and there being a problem of some sort, perhaps in one particular icon size. The quicklookd messages suggests the problem is with the 16 x 16 image.
