We've been extensively testing opening/viewing PPT files, and have
noticed repeatable issues with memory not being cleared. These issues
appear when opening PPT files, ODP files, or even creating new ODP files.
We run CentOS 5.5, OOo 3.2.1....
Do the following while monitoring resources (with like top)...
- Open OOo by running soffice
- Note "base-level" memory usage (in our test-case, 4-something MB)
- Open/Create presentation file (new, existing, PPT, ODP, etc. - any/all)
- Note memory again... (in our test case, 7.6MB)
All well and good up to this point.... now it gets interesting...
- Go to File -> Close
- Note memory again... does NOT reduce!
Again, it didn't matter whether we created a new file, opened PPT,
opened ODP, etc.... whenever the file is closed, the peak memory use
remains. However, in these cases, completely closing soffice DID result
in the memory being cleared.
We first started investigating this while developing with document
server (and trying to figure out a memory leak there).
Closing a file and cleaning the memory should be at the forefront,
right? Is this by design? If a bug or memory leak, then it would be nice
to see it addressed in the new version coming out soon :)
