Yes I've seen Evolution do that lag thing many times. Whatever goes on 
inside the HTML composer is not well done.

The virtual memory use is part of WebKit and is called Gigacages. It 
allocates huge zones of memory around compiled Javascript so that even 
if some bug allowed direct memory accesses, it isn't mathematically 
possible for it to reach sensitive data.
