I usually see a problem after about a week of usage - after a reboot it
behaves itself for a few days. I rebooted this morning, and now Evo is
down to 400MB.

I'm using a default Fedora setup, with hardly any locally compiled
software (and none that is used on a day-to-day basis). From my
experience with other installations, this is common to any modern Linux
OS running a fully featured desktop (GNOME more then KDE, but I can't
say that its not happening with KDE) for more then a week of uptime.
