What Cyril was referring to is that in 1st ed (and 2nd ed although it was much less emphasized) was that spells require 10 minutes of study or meditation/prayer per spell level to memorize, a 20th lvl mage would require 27 hours of study to memorize his full complement of spells, a 20th lvl cleric would require an additional 30 minutes (and don't forget to add in extra time for bonus spells from high intelligence or magic items).
Additionally you require a certain amount of rest to memorize spells of a certain level (4 hours for 1-2 lvl spells, 6 for lvl3-4, 8 hours for 5-6th lvl spells, 10hours for 7-8th lvl spells, and 12 hours to memorize 9th level spells). However hope is not lost, spells not cast can be retained for up to a month, depending on the spell level. (this is far more draconian than we require for this game, but is a useful starting point for roleplaying out fatigue and how that can limit your faculties for memorizing spells)
