excessive memory use by several gnome programs



My fans were going crazy after restart, as usual, so I finally looked at the System Monitor to find that with no programs started by me, gnome-contacts-search-provider was using the most, reaching up to 1.8 GB. All 8 CPUs were running on 99 to 100%. After several minutes it dropped to nothing. Is that normal? The computer sounds like a jet taking off.

At present, evolution-addressbok-factory is using 478 MB of memory, consistently for several tens of minutes (and still the biggest user among the processes. Looks like a lot to me - is that normal?

I am on a Dell Lattitude 5490 laptop, 16 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, intel core i5 vPro 8t gen, 2-3 years old.
Thanks!
Luben
