[Posted July 19, 2006 by cook]

GnomeDesktop.org covers a new release of the Evolution email client. "Philip Van Hoof wrote: "Here are the patches to get the upstream version of evolution-data-server and evolution-exchange to start using the mmap technique for loading the header and content info summary data of Evolution and tinymail. I expect it to reduce memory usage of Evolution with approximately fourty to sixty megabytes of ram, depending on the amount of folders you have.""
