Public bug reported: I use Kubuntu Feisty 7.04 (upgraded from a Kubuntu edgy) on Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz, 1GB RAM, 2GB swap
When reading a Scilab-generated eps file with gv, kghostview or epstopdf, gs-esp fails to output anything and my computer slows down in an unacceptable manner (At least one minute to get a konsole and to kill the process. The situation is better when I launch the process with the lowest priority) and my hard drive makes noise (it seems that gs takes at least 700MB of virtual memory, a bit impressive for a 100kB file). If you need one of this file, I can send one of them. Choosing the gs-gpl alternative solves the problem., but it is not the default gs in Kubuntu. I don't know whether it is the right place to report this bug. Please let me know.
