I have recently been hit by this bug on Gutsy. Opening http://www.foxkeh.com/downloads/history/history-foxkeh.pdf resulted in 600MB memory usage in "Best Fit" zoom level (about 70%), little did I know that trying to zoom in to 400% to get a closeup of one of the images would result in Evince consuming all 1GB of my memory and 2.5GB of my swap, grinding my system to a halt to the point of me needing to cut the power.
Yes. Ouch. -- evince consumes a lot of memory (1.5 GB VM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
