[comp.windows.x] dvi2x makes X Server grow

metz@iam.unibe.ch (Igor Metz) (02/14/90)

 I run dvi2x from the latest VorTeX distribution on XSun (X11R4,sparcstation-1)
and xgo (X11R3 for GraphOn X Terminal ).

 I watched the system with top on a Sparcstation-1. When dvi2x builds pages it
seems not only to allocate space for its own process, but also in the X
server. With Xsun the process size grows, with xgo the resident size grows.
For a document of 10 pages the process size of Xsun grows to 15MB !!!

 Has anybody else seen such a behavior?
