Geary currently is a little too aggressive with its CPU usage. I
believe it's because we're trying too hard to make sure the local
database is in sync with the server, something IMAP makes somewhat
difficult unfortunately. This is ticketed at
<http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6602> if you'd like to track its
progress. It's something we'd like to take care of very soon.
As to the memory usage, we've known about a memory leak for a while,
and have recently traced much of the issue down to bugs in Vala and its
libraries. This is ticketed at
<http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5306>, and of course we'd also like to
knock this out as soon as possible.
The database size is due to Geary downloading some emails in the
background. Geary now has a configurable amount of time in the past
it downloads messages to have local copies for fast access. There's
currently no way to tell Geary to discard email that's older than the
date it tries to keep locally (Geary won't delete any local messages
currently); that's ticketed at <http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6073>.
Also, it might be bigger than you expect because it's storing
attachments and some other metadata as well as the messages themselves.
Sorry I can't offer any specific help! We're working on fixing these
issues as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.
