Okay, I bite.

The comparison is favoring Tracker in a number of ways:
      * Having the Evolution UI running while inserting contacts into
        EDS slows down the whole process because all data is also
        getting sent back to the UI. This is more complex than just
        inserting the data into Tracker, which has nothing reading that
        data during that time.
      * You use the low-level Tracker API to create contacts in Tracker.
        QtContacts should have been used instead, because that is the
        API that is relevant for MeeGo and that corresponds to the one
        you used for EDS.

Of course you have a point about the system as a whole, but that still
doesn't make the comparison any better. I could speculate whether this
comparison was skewed intentionally or unintentionally, but let's not go
there, okay?

I've said before and I say it again here, I consider performance
comparisons pointless at this time. Doing them badly just reduces any
good will that might be left from the people one is trying to convince.
