Try with latest master. It's made a huge difference for me. Exporting my most complex atlas (300 pages, with shapeburst, layer effects, some pretty hefty dynamic labeling): Initially memory usage is about 320mb. 2.8: memory usage grows to 1.5 gb 2.10: memory usage to about 2 gb Master: memory usage grows to 480 mb Win! I suspect Qt5 will make another big difference too. Nyall > > Nyall > > > > > > > Nyall
