Opening and displaying many PDFs resp. pages in a relatively short time
can use a lot of memory (I think around 1MB/page is not to far from the
truth.). This is due to the fact that images are kept cached until they
expire via image-cache-eviction-delay, which has a default value of
12min, I believe. Of course, this situation could be improved.
I think this is true for both doc-view and pdf-tools.
