Seem to have encountered an evolution memory leak. Evolution "froze"
while editing a message, X became VERY sluggish.  Top showed high
memory/swap usage.  Disk activity was (naturally) very high.  Did killev
and restarted.  Recovered message and is now working OK.  No excessive
swap/memory consumed.

Don't know how to reproduce reliably.
