           Summary: Okular performance options: re-adjust outdated memory
                    performance profiles
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.11.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tobias.rudert at alice-dsl.net


Version:           0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

In okulars performance options exist 3 performance profiles: low, normal and
aggressive. These profiles point to less than 256 MB, 256 MB and 512 or more MB
memory.

This classification is obviously outdated, since 95% of all sold machines have
1 GB of RAM or more and propably a lot of systems running KDE have 2 gigabyte
or more.

So the current profiles...
-seem to be dusty and outdated for a user, since they represent the state of
2003 hardware
-dont help users to choose a profile that suites their hardware
-raise the question whether to supply more preloading/prerendering since we
have more headroom

I can not estimate the possible options for more aggressive memory useage
(profiles), but there are other requests covering that:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205301
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185906
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184196

Suggestion: 3 memory performance profiles, low for 512 MB or lower, normal for
512 to 1, 1.5 or 2 GB and aggressive for higher. The profiles should be packed
with more preloading/prerendering capabilities, especially the normal and
aggressive profile. It may make sense to offer checkboxes for very specific
methods.

Reproducible: Didn't try
