evince uses upwards of 500MB of RAM when viewing PDFs larger than 2 pages

[Bryn]

Binary package hint: evince

I'm presently running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Beta (Release Candidate), 64-bit. When I a PDF larger than 2 or 3 pages, the memory usage spikes, reaching close to 500MB before I close it down. I didn't have this problem when I had Feisty installed, which I believe used an earlier version of evince. I have noticed similar problems with other PDF readers.

Thank you for your bug. Could you attach an example?

Hi, there.

I apologize for not posting an example--I have never posted a bug
report before and wasn't quite sure of the procedure. What exactly do
I need to post? A screenshot? It has been brought to my attention
that this bug may indeed be related to bug #138343, so if you'd like
to combine the two reports, that would be fine with me.

Thanks for your help!
