But anyway, simply loading preview but not using it shouldn't have a major effect on memory. > I don't use preview anyway, so this is a fine solution for me.

But I've just tested it on some document including at least some math formulas and some images, and it works fine. When I do M-x preview-document, the preview images are generated into somy my-doc.prv/ subfolder and inserted into the document buffer. At that point, the memory usage increases a bit. But shortly after I do M-x preview-clearout-buffer and all preview images are removed, memory seems to be returned back and the emacs process consumes about the same as before... > Also, this also plugged the leak under GNU Emacs 23.

Could you try to reproduce the leak starting with "emacs -Q", adding this to *scratch* and evaling it (C-x C-e after the closing paren)? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (progn (add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/auctex/") (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Bye, Tassilo _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
