Review request for Okular.


Changes
-------

It's been a while but I did the suggested changes since it's more consistent with the description. Set the maximum limit of pages to allocate to the numeric limit of a signed int. Also, removed unloading completely.


Description
-------

After discovering that the aggressive behaviour in okular is not that aggressive at all (preloads only the next 2 pages) I've written the attached patch to add a "Greedy" option. It preloads every page into memory.


Diffs (updated)

Testing
-------

Tested it on my local system, I'm using the modified okular with the new greedy option checked and don't have any issues so far. The memory requirement for a 580 page (color) PDF file is about 1 GiB, the bulk of it for the pixmaps. Other (e.g. unloading) behaviour is like "Aggressive". It takes a while for the whole document to be prerendered but after that it works as expected.


Thanks,

Sebastian Rose
