I was able to read the whole document. Memory usage remained constant throughout. Are you sure it's a leak, and not just using a lot of memory? Can you try the most recent (0.6.0) version of evince, to see if it still has the problem for you? (In reply to comment #1) > Are you sure it's a leak, and not just using a lot of memory? I think you are right, it seems more that the program is using a lot of memory, but it's normal that evince requires 90% of 746 Mb Memory and that I can't even use my wm or open a terminal to kill the program because of that? I tried evince-0.6 and I got the same problem. Then I tried kpdf, and it full the memory, too. I haven't got problems by reading the same pdf with gv: $ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 502 116 386 0 0 57 -/+ buffers/cache: 59 443 Swap: 243 51 191 Total: 746 168 578 I'm not sure that this is still an evince bug: is maybe something in my system bad configured? Well, I have 2 GB, which is why I was probably able to open it fine. That said, it's not a nice thing to use all your RAM. There's work underway to fix this, but evince is still a 0.x release, so it's not surprising it has some warts. Could you re-file this bug upstream in http://bugzilla.gnome.org ? If you don't want to, I can do it. I can even mirror the PDF, if necessary. (In reply to comment #3) > Well, I have 2 GB, which is why I was probably able to open it fine. How much memory does evince full on your system? > Could you re-file this bug upstream in http://bugzilla.gnome.org ? Done: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357846 Here, on evince 0.6.0 and poppler 0.5.3, it takes ~200MB virtual, 25MB resident, and 13MB shared. That's a lot, but it's less than openoffice frequently takes. I'm also having the same problem using kpdf, so it must be poppler's fault. I don't think this is a bug, and much newer versions of evince are stable, so closing. |
