Description Telesto 2018-10-30 13:03:34 UTC
Description:
Memory usage increasing from 133 to +/- 255 MB after scrolling down with page down

Steps to Reproduce:
The issue is fixed in the strict sense, when looking at file open. However the issue still present:

1. Open the attachment 145863 [details]
2. Wait until the memory drops to 133MB (fine) (since 30-10-2018; see bug 120735) 
3. Now hold page down until the end, memory usage is back to 255

Actual Results:
255 MB memory usage

Expected Results:
Somewhere around the 133 MB


Reproducible: Always

Followed the steps in Comment #0 exactly:

~538 MB on load
~480 MB while holding Page Down
   + constant ~20% CPU usage (on my 8 core CPU) while scrolling.

The page loading was jerky/stuttery as it went through the pages... but besides that, my memory usage actually WENT DOWN while I was scrolling.

When I:

- held Page Up
- made it back to Page 1

my RAM usage was:

~490 MB

- - -

I also tried Comment #4:

> Scrolling the document down and up, memory usage increase rapidly.

I was:

1. Holding Page Down for a while
2. Stop
3. Holding Page Up for a while
4. Stop
5. (Repeat Steps 1–4.)

and I wouldn't call it "increasing rapidly".

My RAM slowly rose ~1–4 MB per 50ish pages—I assume because LO was holding/loading nearby pages in memory—because as I went up/down:

- the CPU dropped
   - Instead of ~20% while scrolling, it was ~12–15%.
- + I was able to scroll through all those previous pages much more quickly.
   - LO was moving through pages MUCH faster/snappier.

(Hence, why I think those pages/layouts/spellchecking-squigglies were now sitting more efficiently in memory.)

So... it seems like this may have been squished somewhere along the line... at least for this specific document.

Thanks for testing. Bug 121059 was also closed, so let's go with WFM.
