Funny you should mention that. Immediately after reading the above, I
read the following on the HAL mailing list...

From Kay Sievers
: The next udev version will not store anything in its database if not
: neccessary. So udev does not need to write 600 pretty useless database
: files and HAL does not need to process the information that is already
: contained in the sysfs-path.

So, there's some good news for you - sounds like most of the stuff in
that /dev/.udevdb directory will soon be going away. That ought to drop
the memory usage a bit.

Simon.
