Comment 31 for bug 138343

In order to check the current evince behaviour, I opened again the pdf linked by Rebecca Palmer. The maximum memory usage I saw using system monitor was 55 Mb, when scrolling through pages 21-22. As soon as I passed those two gnuplot graphs, memory usage dropped to about 30 Mb. Bear in mind that the initial memory usage is 20 Mb. This is on a fully updated 64bit lucid install.

Can anyone post a link to a file triggering the events? The heaviest file I probably have is a paper from Review of Modern Physics, Rev Mod Phys 62, 1045 (1992). It is made of 53 scanned pages, and is 11 Mb. The biggest memory usage I've seen when torturing evince is 144.5 Mb, and I will recover memory when I stop scrolling like crazy. In comparison, acroread has a maximum memory usage of 46 Mb... but the scrolling there plainly sucks.
