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.
Greg,
this smells like a memory leak bug.
If you can reproduce this on a regular basis, could you file a bug
report in bugszilla? Please add steps to reproduce the problem and in
case the problem only shows up with some particular images, please
attach an example of pictures that can be used to debug it.
Thanks
Michele
