Okular consumes an enormous amount of Memory (over 1GB)

Okular consumes an enormous amount of Memory (it reached over 1Gb today).
I got the same tab list opened (and loaded) over the weeks (even months): it consists of 7 or 8 tabs the size of each is in range 4 to 17 Mb (there’s no large files).

Settings -> Configure Okular -> Performance -> Memory Usage -> Low

In my computer, memory usage remains ~200 MB, even when a 250 page document is kept open for hours. Otherwise, Okular caches many pages, and consumes a lot of memory (although the performance is not much different).

I’ve set that Memory Usage -> Low setting, but still encountering memory spikes.
