Bug ID: 394834 Summary: Okular not release memory (ram) taken by closed documents Product: okular Version: 1.4.1 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: PDF backend Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org Reporter: z...@cnzhx.net Target Milestone: --- Hi there, I report this but I am not really sure about this problem. I used Okular a lot for paper reading. The settings are almost the same as default, especially the Performance is set to Normal. I used to open a lot of papers at the same time and switching between them. Okular responses quickly. After a while, Okular takes around 5 to 6 GB of ram, which is not a problem for me as long as the memory is not exhausted. After I close some PDFs and open some others, the taken RAM keeps increasing but seems never being released after closure of some documents. That is fine, I think. However, when there is little memory left for my system to use, like only 0.5 GB left, and I need to open another programme, that causes problem and the system starts to use swap space. Okular still does not release the memory it takes. I think this situation need improvement so that Okular could somewhat release some memory space when some documents have been closed for a long time.
