Memory leak when using Document.compare

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We’ve recently upgraded to version to 22.2 and started to get OutOfMemory errors when comparing documents. Even differences of 5 pages of text started to consume ~2GB of memory.

Example:

  • Document version 1 - empty document
  • Document version 2 - 160 pages of simple text
  • With version 21.3 - it consumes below 300MB of heap
  • With version 22.2 - getting OutOfMemory errors even with 10GB allocated.

Code fragment:

  Document doc1 = new Document(PATH_TO_V1);
  Document doc2 = new Document(PATH_TO_V2);

  CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions();
  compareOptions.setGranularity(Granularity.CHAR_LEVEL);

  doc1.compare(doc2, " ", Calendar.getInstance().getTime(), compareOptions);
