Comment 1 for bug 1342123

To clarify, out of the box on krillin with no calendar sync even enabled, evolution-calendar-factory uses 32MB which is the 4th highest process in memory usage. This is with an empty database of no calendar events or alarms.

I'm assuming evolution-calendar-factory gets loaded by indicator-datetime initially such that the indicator can show calendar events.

If you have a large database of calendar entries (i.e. after you've done a google calendar sync), as Pat reported this process can grow to well over 100MB. It seems to have no upper bound, and since the evolution backend for calendar is simply a flat file of type .ics, e-c-f appears to load the entire file into memory.

e-c-f really needs a sqlite backend or something such that it can manage it more efficiently. Someone needs to investigate what can be done in the short term reduce the memory usage if possible.
