Evince works fine for pdf files less than about 20 MB. However when I opened a 23 MB file, it started eating all my RAM and swap. The memory went upto 945 MB and then I had to restart the PC. Not even alt+ctrl+backspace worked (it's enabled).
Pity, that the adobe reader opens the file and runs it flawlessly within 40 MB.. When I split the file in 2, it runs well so I guess it's the size. Zooming in a small file sometimes causes the same issue. I'm attaching a screenshot of my system monitor. Took me quite an effort to get it, as evince would not let any other program run. Even the mouse was 'stunned'. On the Resources tab, pie charts of Memory and swap are both filled up... :-( Some more info: Evince version: 2.30.1-0ubuntu2. Linux kernel 2.6.32-22-generic. Intel 845 chipset running a 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates (from the main server). ** Attachment added: "evince.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47156026/evince.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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
