I think the problem with Evolutions memory use is largely fragmentation
not leaking.

I'd like to mention that the default Evolution setup in FC loads the
Spamassassin plugin which on my machine at least takes up 80megs of
memory, replacing that with the bogofilter plugin turned out to be a
good decision - I blogged a bit about that adventure*

Maybe we can get that plugin upstream as the default for great savings,
running a daemon for spam training is probably a tad overkill anyways.
