I'm currently running Intrepid and the problem is *not* fixed. I was
wondering why my system was still using a lot of memory despite the fact
I didn't have that many apps running. So I closed all by one of the
evince documents and checked memory use:
% free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4045452 3975256 70196 0 126200 617356
-/+ buffers/cache: 3231700 813752
Swap: 3903784 1433792 2469992
I count only the used "-/+ buffers/cache" plus the used swap, so that's
4.4 GB used by the system. I then close the last evince document and
check memory again.
% free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4045452 3057952 987500 0 126304 613112
-/+ buffers/cache: 2318536 1726916
Swap: 3903784 533184 3370600
Using the same method, that's 2.7 GB use (still too much, but that's
another issue). So evince was *effectively* using 1.7 GB just to display
one document (plus most likely the leaks from the documents I opened and
closed). No, there was nothing special about the document I had open.
