Hello,
we have recently noticed that acroread-9.3.3-1.slc4 from the
repo http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc4X/$basearch/yum/updates/
takes almost 100% of the CPU.
Scientific Linux SL release 4.8 (Beryllium)
Linux reynolds.lmd.jussieu.fr 2.6.9-89.0.26.EL #1 Wed Jun 16 04:44:53 CDT 2010
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Does anybody see the same behavior ?
I have seen acroread use all memory and hence lots of CPU.
This was SL5 and appeared only to be when used as a firefox plugin.
Disabling nppdf.so and getting firefox to use acroread as a standalone
application seems to have stopped the excessive memory use.
