Description Antoine Pitrou 2007-10-16 17:20:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When viewing the following document, memory used by evince (as showed by 'top') explodes. The PDF file itself is not that big (2 MB).
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/IBM-z6-mainframe-microprocessor-Webb.pdf

More precisely:
- first, when reading several pages, memory is already more than 500 MB
- when resizing the window a bit, memory goes up to 700 MB
- then there is a moment where evince becomes to eat more and more memory (going past 1MB) and I have to kill it because it is bringing my maching to its knees

The evince version is Mandriva package evince-2.20.0-2mdv2008.0.


Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2.

Does this happen every time?

Just reproduced it with evince-2.20.1-1mdv2008.1.
Comment 2 Pascal Terjan 2007-11-03 14:39:36 UTC 
Here the memory was 445m when it finished loading the document but it did not increase when I resized it.
(BTW I got a lot of "cairo context error: NULL pointer" in the console)

I think this bug report is a duplicate of bug 504913, which presumably was
fixed in the trunk.
