Comment 17 for bug 138343

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.
