[Evolution-hackers] mmaping addressbook database



Hi,

Whilst investigating the memory usage of the addressbook I noticed that
libdb is using malloc() to store pages from the database.  This is
caused by use of the DB_PRIVATE flag to the env->open call.  Removing
this flag causes libdb to mmap the database into memory.

Personally I can't see a problem with removing the DB_PRIVATE flag, but
I'm not exactly a libdb expert.  Is there a good reason not to remove
this flag?
