Comment(by rwh):

 Indeed evince has some issues with memory usage, especially when zooming
 in. This is not really an OLPC specific bug, and some minor improvements
 are already in the version we ship. Maybe we could also decrease the size
 of the page cache. The fact that OLPC uses a reader based on evince caused
 this issue to be moved up in priority, so hopefully it will improve soon
 (see http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Roadmap)
