Investigating why my computer had suddenly become very s.l.o.w, I

the usage by evolution and evolution-data-server look large, amounting

Following are their entries extracted from $ ps axuw.

For an old-line embedded systems programmer, who used to think in terms
of KBytes, this looks a little excessive.
The column you should look at is RSS (Resident Set Size). The rest of
the memory is shared libraries. The %MEM column is also illustrative. If
Evo was really occupying 2GB and accounts for 5% of memory, you must
have 40GB on your machine. Impressive :-)
