By the way, you don't want to keep that behaviour in mind too long (I mean, loading everything in memory).
Thanks to Kohsuke, Jenkins is actually now gonna lazy-load build results: see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/jenkinsci-dev/ri5E9LW2kDo/G3NMc65rWpcJ . It's already in the trunk, so it should be out in a release version in some weeks.
