Hi, Julien, and thanks for the reply. I'm making some progress on this:
I monitored the memory usage while closing a couple of the files at a time. I
*think* that I've found the file that must be the problem. It'd be best to be
able to attach it here, but I can't, since it's a text I'm using by permission
from someone who will end up publishing it later.
But, here are some specifics about the suspect file:
**Written in .doc format, saved by me into libreoffice and annotated after
that. (Maybe I should have said this in response to your first comment?)
**Almost entirely polytonic Greek, with some English and other languages mixed
in.
**32 pages, 90000 characters, 500+ footnotes
I searched for problems involving special characters and memory usage in
libreoffice and found this:
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157664/slow-typing-and-high-cpu-usage-after-a-certain-point/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157664/slow-typing-and-high-cpu-usage-after-a-certain-point/</a>,
which suggests that using shift-enter for a newline can cause an issue. Well,
it looks like in my document everything is paragraphed correctly; at least,
when I turn on view->formatting marks, I can see paragraph symbols after each
paragraph.
Let me know if you need the file itself to comment further. I could probably
obfuscate the contents somehow.</pre>
