Karsten, Thanks for the tip I've got a number of dead or near dead folders that don't need constant indexing. Oh and I found out the problem. I'm running cooker and one of the updates I did set my /etc/hosts file to 127.0.0.1 localhost and nothing more..... For reasons unchecked, and unknown. Evolution does a check to see where it is every time you do anything. (basically a reverse dns type action) Since the hostname (localhost.localdomain or otherwise) wasn't in this file and since I don't run dns for my home lan. I constantly had to wait for this action to time out. Once I did an strace and started watching it I found what was the cause. So if Evo ever slows down on you or anyone else. Check the /etc/hosts file. James >
