Long time user of
zathura since it really is 'lightweight' in that there are no extraneous features. However, I often find myself running out of memory due to having several pdf's open at once. From htop:
VIRT RES SHR S Command
1171M 266M 41116 S zathura --config-dir=/tmp/tmp.asdfj a-pdf.pdf
1171M 266M 41116 S zathura --config-dir=/tmp/tmp.asdfj a-pdf.pdf
1171M 266M 41116 S zathura --config-dir=/tmp/tmp.asdfj a-pdf.pdf
1171M 266M 41116 S zathura --config-dir=/tmp/tmp.asdfj a-pdf.pdf
For some reason opening a single pdf (a-pdf in this case) results in four instances of zathura running, and they all use around 250M, which does not seem right at all. Why are there four instances for one pdf? Killing the instance will recover around 1G of memory.
