Adobe's Acrobat Reader uses a lot of memory (und cpu) by spawning a ld-linux.so.2 process which consumes all that memory and cpu time. There exists an easy bugfix for that: just install sys-apps/lsb-release So I suggest to add sys-apps/lsb-release either as a runtime dependency, or to enable it via a use-flag. Since the lsb-release package is really small I vote for the former. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run acroread 2. Open up a PDF and wait a bit 3. Check cpu and memory usage Actual Results: High cpu usage by ld-linux.so.2 and very high memory consumption (several hundred MBs), from what I've heard the memory usage is ever increasing, although I never encountered a case were it went above 1000MB (but it propably would given enough time). Expected Results: Well, use less memory and cpu time. With the lsb-release package installed the (real) memory usage of the ld-linux.so.2 process stays at 49MB (with my test pdf file) and there's about 1-3% cpu usage from time to time.
Seems that it's solved since some time with current stable release (9.2)

I fully agree, reporter, feel free to reopen if still valid Thanks
