Hey its Linux, and a workstation, no reboots :-) To track memory usage
open an xterm, use top or htop. I can watch the memory usage

I tried browsing a folder of jpegs , I get the same results as you did.
This is something the tiff files do not do, memory usage increases until
it is all gone..fairly quickly on some tiffs. The tiff
format "structure was designed to be easily extendible", and can vary,
though the files I get are from a service that scans drawings and
supplies tiffs to members, should be typical.

Wheezy amd 64, TDE 3.5.13.2.
I use Gwenview to view .tiff files, these are Architectural D
drawings scanned to .tiff. They range in size: 350K>1.1M.
The feature I kike about Gwenview as a viewer is I can view a
directory full of tiff files and browse thru them using the
toolbar.
The downside, it seems, is that after viewing about 10 or so files
all 8gb of memory is used, all other apps have been swapped out so
checking mail or any other task is slow ..actually the workstation
becomes to slow to be productive.
Memory is not released between file views..is this normal? This is
first app I have noticed using all memory so quickly..seems
unusual.
Thanks

I am using the pclos-remaster-TDE.(kde3.5.13)
My system has 3Gb memory.
I have opened both TB and FF.
I opened Gwenview and browsed about 50 Pictures all jpg and around
300 to 600K.
I have no memory problems as far as I see.
TB works as always, and yes, FF seems to be slower, but nothing that
annoys me
I have no tiff files to try .
Try a reboot , if you didn't do already, and see ' if ' there is a
difference
