As filed under bug #1342123 (under Canonical System Image, i.e. for mobile installs) by several users, including desktop installs, evolution-calendar-factory (previsouly in 14.04) then evolution-calendar-factory-subprocess (in 16.04) run using several hundreds of megabytes of memory (~ 300 Mio in my case).
This might have to do with having lots of linked calendars (Google Agenda or other). Another user on my system has much fewer Google Agendas than me and her memory usage of evolution-calendar-factory-subprocess is far les (but still close to 100 Mio).
