Same problem here, I think. I'm working on a 500 page LaTeX document
which compiles to a 25mb pdf.

If I scroll too much, evince just eats up ALL of my 1gb of memory AND my
1.2gb of swap.

It actually looks like it keeps eating memory for a while even after I
stop scrolling. Sometimes I catch it just before it's eaten all my
memory (I have the system monitor applets in my panel) and am able to
press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which after a few more minutes of swapping
kills my GUI and gets me a useable window manager again. I have had a
couple of hard lockups because of this; I don't know why evince isn't
getting killed automatically (as I would expect, and like someone else
said happened for him/her).
