Aha good point, it's a closed component, and that sucks.

Hmm, quoting myself "That is not lightning fast" and "this mail is not a
plea for Tracker in MeeGo". So, mind you, even if saving 500 contact
was taking 1ms I wouldn't be proud of it, since I have absolutely no
credit in Tracker's saving performance :) And when technical decisions
are at stake, I tend to put things like "honor", "personal tastes" etc.
away and stick to technical facts. And as you rightly point out, if you
want to store 80k contacts, Tracker most likely does not cut it.

I must admit I have a hard time understanding this part :) Tracker is
not really "my technology", I happen to use it in my daily work and as
such know what you can do with it and what you can't... I am no Tracker
salesman, nor I do have "Tracker" tatooed on my left shoulder ;)

Again, this message *was not meant to contradict your decision*, since I
have myself no personal grief against EDS, and also tend to look for
what's best *given clear requirements*. As Zoltan said, we never saw
those requirements (we as in we people who investigated time using
Tracker, which is *a* technology, not *our* technology), and I don't
really care about who we should blame, who we should pity etc.

Cheers
