Another MAJOR ram-killer is Evolution. It seems to increase memory
usage exponentially with message size. I recently received a 10mb log
file that took forever to load, and _almost_ crashed my box - and I have
a dual-Opteron 246 with 2Gigs of ram.
I run Sylpheed now, and that same e-mail hardly causes it to skip a
beat.
Evolution leaks like a sieve too...
