km.au Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Have a 33mb docuemnt (100 pages). Publisher uses over 32GB of RAM to even work with the document? Is this a bug or do modern word processing apps require 64gb of RAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would not call APu a word processing app, it is more than that. My machine has only 8 GB RAM and doing fine on 100+ pages. I guess the behaviour is normal to use as much RAM as possible, while working in an application. Isn't there a saying that "free RAM is wasted RAM"?

km.au Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 There's a memory leak in this program. It's pretty bad and causing all sorts of issues. There's no reason a document with linked images should be using above 32gb of RAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Nothing leaking here, everything dry on my side, with 106+ pages having MASSIVE objects / layers inside. Only strange thing here: As soon as I start AP and AD (all in all 830 MB), memory use of APu drops down to 1800 MB. I was expecting dropping down to 3500 MB or something like that. But I am no hardware expert / developers, so what do I know.

Staff Gabe Posted June 25, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2020 @km.au how many linked images have you got? What do you do when it uses 32gb ram? How big are your images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km.au Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks everyone. I've got about 35 linked images and pdfs with the largest being 3.74MB JPG and largest PDF being 12MB and 21 pages. The whole document is 145 pages and currently behaving itself today, but it's idling at 16GB Yesterday it climbed to using 27GB of ram and it would start using the pagefile. It never crashed but gosh it was slow. I will work out what is triggering this leak if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 26, 2020 Can you upload the file and all your resources on this link please? https://www.dropbox.com/request/cYDn4huhoUO0jNUlHDII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
