Thanks, but you opened the bug on the wrong bug tracker.

I would also recommend elevating the importance of this bug from Low to Medium. Try testing it on a computer with 512mb memory or less and see what happens. In comparison the minimum system requirements are set to 384mb RAM (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements). Reading documents is a fairly basic task as far as I see it. -- Evince uses too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 491531] Re: Evince uses too much memory
It's difficult to say if those existing bugs are the same bug or not (there's not really enough information to say if they are). I can't reproduce the issue with the example files on those bug reports either, so they might be obsolete now. Generally, it's better to open your own report rather than piggy-back on to someone else's, unless you're absolutely sure that you're experiencing the same bug. Upstream will need an example file attached to the bug report. Without that, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. ** Also affects: poppler Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Evince uses too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 491531] Re: Evince uses too much memory
Yes, it does behave similarly. I opened a single pdf document and zoomed on a diagram (350%). In result the memory usage reached 140mb. -- Evince uses too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 491531] Re: Evince uses too much memory
This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. Please also attach an example file to this bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) -- Evince uses too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 491531] Re: Evince uses too much memory
I am attaching a valgrind log. The activities I performed were as follows: 1. Ran evince a.dvi a.ps (the ps file was obtained via dvips) -- the used memory at this point was around 250mb 2. Scrolled down and zoomed (200%) on a figure in each file -- the used memory reached almost 500mb 3. Closed both evince windows Let me know if there id anything else I can provide. ** Attachment added: valgrind.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36346829/valgrind.log -- Evince uses too much memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There's no huge leaks indicated by Valgrind.
