Sorry, I should have been more clear.

If you run beagled --list-backends, it will show you a list of backends
that beagled starts up by default.  By providing --allow-backend
<backend name> you can limit it to one or more backends.  So

beagled --allow-backend Files

would allow only the file backend.

What I suggest doing is starting with just the files backend and then
just the mail backend and see if you see the kind of memory spike you
have been seeing.  If it's in one and not the other (or in both or
neither) then that helps narrow down the problem.

Thanks,
Joe
