Of course, base64 requires more memory. The whole file is encoded in the URL and due to the encoding the file uses even more bytes (roughly 1.25 times) than the raw original file. The whole URL is stored as a single java.lang.String in memory and gets passed around. base64 is nice for smaller files that can be embedded. It doesn't make much sense for larger images IMO.
