Bug ID: 148218
Summary: Writer uses utterly excessive amounts of RAM
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.1.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Loaded the attached ZIPped RTF (filesizes l.zip: 746kb, l.rtf: 6,729kb) and
then looked at the RAM used using MS Process Explorer, for both
Writer (Version: 7.3.1.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a69ca51ded25f3eefd52d7bf9a5fad8c90b87951
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render:
Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-US
Calc: CL)
as well as Word (Word 2002)
Look at the screen print, and cry. It's just utterly inexcusable that editing a
6Mb file required more than 800Mb. It's actually even worse if the RTF file is
first saved (just as RTF) without making any changes to it. In that case amount
of RAM required balloons up to MORE THAN ONE GIGABYTE!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unzip l.zip
2. Open it in Writer and Word
3. Notice the differences in RAM used
Actual Results:
Utterly ridiculous amounts of RAM used, more than 100 times the size of the
input file!
Expected Results:
Way less
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
When are the LO developers finally going to do so about issues like this? If
you want people with less capable hardware to use the product, this is not the
way to go!
