Description Phil Armstrong 2005-05-25 02:16:39 UTC
Evince needs well over a gigabyte of memory to render page 10 of this file.

xpdf chews up a lot of CPU, but only needs 12Mb of memory. Looks like there's a
memory leak somewhere...

I'm guessing this is a poppler bug, but will happily refile against evince
itself if you think otherwise!

Big sorry, the postscript above has nothing to do with this bug (but rather with
3391), but I don't know how to delete an entry? Thanks

Attached the second pdf document to show the problem, and obsoleted the wrong
attachement.

Seems to be related to 16878
Comment 11 Phil Armstrong 2008-12-31 07:46:47 UTC
This appears to be fixed in evince 2.22.2. These pdfs still take some time to render, but they no longer chew through huge amounts of memory to do so.
