While Evolution is quite productive compared to Thunderbird + Lightning, it's a matter of lost productivity from intensive swapping. Plus I use xVM and ZFS, so it's really a big issue when GUI stuff takes away large chunks of my total memory. 2GB should be a decent amount for one xVM guest running with 256MB ram and ZFS (Which needs about 1GB over the course of a week with a large cache of my 500GB archive) I really don't understand how a UNIX-based system could outconsume Microsoft's latest OS with Office 2007 and VMware. It is how it is, it's just annoying to say the least since I do like Evolution.
