Dear All,
<summary>
I already reported #59688 that in a writer document on opening for *all* linked
images inside memory is allocated. In case you use writer for e.g. provide some
nice text around your (linked) digikam jpegs, it can result in a hog of a huge
amount of memory (up to 800 MB for me).
Including OOo 2.0.2 you could work around and set free most memory if you go
through all pages in file -> page preview. Page by page you see reduction in
e.g. a task monitor.
In the current Linux rpm-release of 2.0.3 I noticed a regression: page preview
workaround does not anymore set free memory, nor it is freed by closing the
document itself. Of course closing OOo frees as last resort.
The windows version of 2.0.3 does not suffer this new issue, so I suspect the
Linux rpm's to be in some way defect.
<own test environments and results>
Verified under Suse 9.3 and 10.1 using OOo rpm's, english and german version -->
showed above behaviour
Tested W2K SP4, german version --> worked as in 2.0.2
Tested Novell's 2.0.3 rpm's for 10.1
(ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/OpenOffice.org/10.1-i386/*) --> worked too, but may
be of older RC-basis, as Novell does often "patch" it's own sources
<Test case / description of reproduction>
- use example file from enhancement req. #59688 or generate a new writer file
and add ~30 different high resoltion (e.g. digikam) jpegs (1600x1200 or more)
and save it.
- open a task monitor to follow memory usage
- restart OOo 2.0.3 and open above sample file
- notice increasing amount of memory on opening as all images are loaded (all
OOo versions 2.x.x)
- Try to set free memory by file -> page preview and browsing through all pages.
2.0.3 will only decrease minimaly ~10%, <=2.0.2 decrease up to 95%
- Try to close document, but not OOo itself. 2.0.3 -> keeps used memory; <=
2.0.2 sets free all remaining used memory by document
<own evaluation on effect>
For my case ("Photoalbum" using ~800 MB on 1 GB main mem) using OOo 2.0.3 Linux
version slows noticably down my machine because of swapping. Maybe this new
"behaviour" has any more side effects.
Cheers, alex69
