Subject: Using the ImageMagick backend seems to leak memory
Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2011 08:51:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sjx6zczl.fsf@member.fsf.org> (raw)
Hi all,
I just noticed that my emacs uses up more than a gigabyte memory. It is
because of doc-view with ImageMagick backend.
After starting my emacs, it needs ~50 MB. Firing up doc-view on a PDF
and showing page one increases to ~80 MB. Switching to other pages
increases about 30 MB every time. Switching to already seen pages
doesn't increase the memory requirements. (I convert the docs with
doc-view-resolution set to 200, so 30 MB a page might be possible.)
Killing the buffer doesn't free the memory again, neither do
(clear-image-cache) or (garbage-collect). So how do I reclaim that
memory?
Bye,
Tassilo
