Hey all,

I know I'm tempting fate here, but I'm trying to run ocropus on a
fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 running under VMWare in MacOS 10.6.3.
I've given the virtual machine two processors at 2.2 GHz, 1.5 GB
memory, and 50 GB (of which 42 GB is free). The reason I'm going this
route is that I tried compiling ocropus natively on OSX -- I was able
to get all the dependences from MacPorts -- but scons just refused to
accept that I had a jpeg library.

Anyway, I successfully compiled ocropus on Ubuntu following the
instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/wiki/DevInstall

I ran the test: ocropus page data/testimages/simple.png (I had to add /
usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and... it took 3 or 4 minutes to
output each single line! The whole page took nearly half an hour, for
8 lines of text.

Now I know that ocropus isn't that slow. The rest of Ubuntu seems to
run quite snappily. Looking at the process monitor, both CPUs are
pegged at 100%, and the memory used by ocropus climbs steadily, taking
it all and then some.

Is there anything I can do to figure out why the thing is so slow and
memory-intensive?

Thanks,

--Rob
