I have the same issue. Under Feisty everything was fine (maybe a bit slower). After I've upgraded to Gutsy (new evince) the problems started. If I open a 2.3 MB ( ~ 220 pages) pdf file (manual text with some black & white pictures), the evince memory usage goes up to > 50 MB. If I start to browse the pages up & down the memory usage goes up to > 100 MB and sometimes (if I stop browsing) it goes down to ~ 70 MB.
I don't think this bug depends on the file (maybe file type ?) because many of us has the same problem with various files. And it started with Gutsy. -- memory leak in evince? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
