All freezes happened while doing something (reading pdf, using
openoffice). Il all cases I had not-so-big pdf(s) opened in evince.

As I said in my previous comment (after which I reassigned the bug to
evince which was then changed), it indeed looks like a memory leak: the
memory used by evince increases when going back and forth in the
document with the scrollbar (in continuous mode). running "watch free
-m" in a terminal while using evince I can confirm that:

* open a pdf
* scroll down and back up (slowly to make sure it rendered everything)
* check memory usage
* scroll down and up a couple more times
* memory usage increased by 300Mo

if I keep doing so it becomes very slow and unresponsive as it swaps (already 
better than the freezes I add).
It doesn't seem to happen (at least not at the same speed) on all pdf, and I 
can't attach here the ones that triggerd it for me (most journals are picky 
about what we do with their pdfs :/ ).

I can't test now if this happens when using an other graphic card but I
will next week.
