Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15411
VM size grows up when saving a writer document, and ...

doesn't go down after saving. This is propably a duplicate of issue 15321, but as it happens for writer I start a new issue. The main problem is that *it* keeps the memory after saving. The document I'm working on contains ~140 pages, ~30 pictures (png, jpg, vektorformat and eps) all embedded (no links). Until I save I have a memory usage of ~100MB, which goes up to ~600MB after saving. (And stays there) As I only have 512MB real memory, and there are some other programs running the machine is getting quite slow. After I close the document and reopen it I'm again down to ~100MB. vq->cl: You say it is fixed in issue 15321, can you tell me in which cws... workspace you were working, then I can give it a try if it also solves my problem. P.S.: I cannot attach the document, as it's going to be my Ph.D. thesis, but if I'm contacted by a developer I'd be happy to send it to him for some proofreading. ;-) (Attention german text)
well it can't be fixed by issue 15321 since the fix was in the API of the drawing layer graphic object and the writer for historical reasons use its own. But I think its caused by the same problem. If anyone from the writer team tries to fix this, please contact me.
HI->VQ: Do you have an URL for me to get the bugdoc?
VQ->HI: Did you get my mail with the bugdoc?
HI->FME: Compared with PP3 and I'd say we have an performance regression here. Please have a look to the bugdoc. You'll find it under ../hi/issues/Diss_big11.sxw
FME->DVO/MIB: Yes, verified.
.
HI: The performance should be increased and not decreased. Set to OOo 1.1.1
SBA->DVO: As discussed with KA, MIB, TZ, the possible side effects make this fix too risky for OOo 1.1.1 (and SO PPs). Since the submitter told a convenient workaround (reload the file after saving), this one will be re-targeted to OOo 2.0.
dvo: Fixed in sw/source/filter/xml/xmltexte.cxx for swq02. As indicated by CL, the problem was that during save-as, all graphics in the file are touched and thus swapped into memory, but nobody swapped them out again. The patch now swaps those graphics out again. This has been a touchy area with signigicant breakage in the past; hence nobody wanted to put the patch into an 1.1.x bugfix. For 2.0, it will now go through the full beta & testing programs, which makes us feel a lot saved. :-)
reopen for QA
dvo->hi: Please test on any current CWS. The issue was fixed in some older CWS, but apparently I failed to properly add it to said CWS' issue list.
