Yeah, Evolution is in the midst of breaking in a new message caching
backend.  The goal is to reduce memory consumption by caching message
summaries in an SQLite database and fetching them as needed, rather than
keeping them _all_ in memory at once, as the old backend did.

The new backend still needs some performance tuning and has some kinks
to work out, as you can see.  But upstream is fixing bugs as fast as
they're being reported, so things should stabilize over the next point
release or two.
