Does anyone else see this? My system is not overloaded, there's nothing

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

So it's not me going mad! But this is plain text composing and I've
only noticed it since upgrading to F33 and 3.38.1


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.

Err, OK. It just looks odd when I have 5 or 6 processes all taking
nearly 100Gb of virtual memory:
