i doubt this has anything to do with lyx 2.0, since the huge memory consuption for large graphic files is there for ages. if my guess is right, then its not leak in the sense of forgotten memory somewhere. we just read _full_ bitmap of all pictures and even if you resize them to small thumbail, we still keep the whole image in memory. so of you have few big bitmaps (note that i dont speak about their size on hard drive, but size when unpacked in memory) then getting 1 GB of RAM usage is going to happen easily. easy workaround is to use child documents. pavel
