Similar problems here on an AMD 1.8GHz w/ 1GB of RAM. It is definitely only pronounced on scanned pdf files as opposed to searchable, copy-able text (or maybe anything larger than 1MB). Scrolling down, the RAM usage jumps by 50-100MB for each page I go through, and doesn't come back down. I've attached a shot of my system monitor - you can clearly see where CPU usage and RAM usage go through the roof (I opened and closed it twice). And this is only a 20-page, 2MB pdf... But based on how much ram is being used - it would totally crash a system with <1GB of RAM.
For the "regular" searchable pdf (151KB), memory only goes up by about 30MB total (still a bit much, in my humble opinion). ** Attachment added: "CPU & RAM usage spikes" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10858774/evince%20bug.png -- evince consumes a lot of memory (1.5 GB VM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138343 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
