Learn about Memory Usage, Please!
Erich thinks Evolution is hogging memory, it isn't!
Most of that 80MB of memory eds is using is shared between the various processes. On my machine it's actually using around 1MB of memory and that's with quite a large calendar loaded into it.
The alarm notifier is using 68MB? On my machine it's only actually using about 850KB.
These two could probably be shrunk a little by more efficient structure layout and perhaps a little fine-tweaking of what memory is allocated and what is shared.
Out of the rest of the memory you think Evolution is using, the largest chunk is actually libc6 and the locale archive, that's a block of memory shared by nearly every single process.
Next you'll be going on a crusade why X needs over 128MB of memory ... when the largest chunk of that is just your video card memory mapped directly into its address space.
