A bug was fixed between qpdf 8.4.2 and 9.0.0 regarding this type of
file (see #305 and #311), but it was necessary to retest after some
major refactoring work at the lexical and parsing layers. This lays
the groundwork for including this in performance benchmarks and in the
qpdf test suite rather than having to keep a large,
non-redistributable file around.
20 arrays of 20K nulls is plenty for performance memory testing and
doesn't take too long to run. Compared to qpdf 8.4.2, in qpdf 11.0.0,
the file generated here uses 3% of the RAM and runs over 4 times
faster.
