I just tested the eurogamer case on my BQ Aquaris E4.5, loaded a few
articles and their associated comments (I targetted articles with 150+
comments), washed rinsed and repeated during 10min, and I didn’t get
the dreaded blank page.

My device is on rc-proposed (image #100), so many components changed
since the latest stable release of OTA5. This image from rc-proposed
will soon become OTA6. Let’s see if that update makes things better
for you.
