resetting image cache during processing

["Agar, Robert" <ro...@tso.co.uk>]

hi all,

Is it safe to call FopImageFactory.resetCache() during processing?  We need to reduce the memory usage as much as possible, so I was considering calling it every time a page rendered info event is logged.  Or does this sound like a really bad idea?

cheers
Rob

It should be safe but useless, because the PDF renderer keeps
references to the cached structures. At worst, memory usage
goes through the roof due to reloding repeated images (don't know
offhand whether this applies to images in static content).
There's no easy fix, if there was one it would have been integrated
a long time ago.
