Even,

I think it will actually not be too hard to remove this problem
with loading the whole image.  It seems that the reference
point objects (the somewhat poorly named GDALFeaturePoint)
stores a "descriptor" representation of the point with it and so
after these are collected from one of the images it is not
necessary to keep the original image in memory.

I'm still not sure how to handle the image scaling and
conversion to a luminosity image more smoothly.
