Description jancs 2006-12-01 21:03:24 UTC

May be it is not just in case of large tables but my observation are the following:
Freshly started OO - sofice.bin uses 26 MB physica memory and 18 MB in Virtual mem.
Opening of Word document (13 MB) containing large table raises memory
consupmtion to 102 MB in physical mem and 82 Mb in Virtual.
Editing of table - just cutting out the rows - each operation increases memory
consumption by about 7 MB of physical and 7 MB in virtual mem. (the amount ow
rows cut in one attempt is from 1 to 10, but is has no influence on the memory
lost by every operation). 
I notice this because Windows cried "i am runnig out of memory" and OO crashed
immediately. 
Memory usage was explored using Windows task manager, WinXp Sp2+; no other apps
running in the background.

Hm, I cannot reproduce it with new documents. Could you please attach the sample
document to this issue (zipped) or send it directly to mru@openoffice.org? for
the case it contains confidential data: send it as mail attachment; we here at
Sun will handle it appropriately!
Feel free to reopen issue when you have done so.
Thanks for your patience!

So, this test fiel ir the MS Word document containing LARGE table (which can be
used to test various bugs related to the large documents, cell number etc)

I repeated described operations on another computer and got the same results.

MRU->FME: could you please have a look if the memory consumption of tables might
be optimized somehow? The attached document may be something extreme, but 100 MB
of memory for about 30.000 cells really necessary?

To add some oil to the fire: MS Word intentionaly or unintentionaly has some
mechanism limiting its memory footprint to approx 80 Mbytes. 
In case of Word 2000, when it reached the mentioned size in memory (which is
actually a hard task, but i succeded some time ago), it became VERY slow, but
did not died.

confirmed and more in 2.1.0 on slackware 11.0.

first, the document opens in 11 minutes. this is celeron 2.20ghz, no other cpu-intensive processes 
(oo.org uses all the cpu during this time), 250mb of physical ram still free when the document 
finishes loading.

basically any action results in memory usage increase (for example, simply changing row heigth).

oo.org also crashed - i dragged one row to be slightly larger, then tried to undo this action (through 
the dit menu).

i sent the error report, but i am also attaching it here.

seems this bug is solved - at least trying to repeat it using OO 3.0.1 on Win
observed changes in memory usage are comprehensible.
