[Evolution-hackers] Evolution slowing down

[Karl Relton]

Hi all

Is it just me, or is evolution 3.6 now really slow. I find opening and
closing message windows markedly slower than 3.2 on the same hardware.

Even worse, the slowness gets worse with usage - so after a day's usage
it is pretty intolerable (to the point where the window manager kicks in
thinking the application is unresponsive).

I'm guessing it is the move to webkit or whatever for viewing messages?
The slowness is obvservable for both reading a message and composing a
message.

Anyone else seen this?

Karl

Probably just you, since I've not seen any such slowdown.  If anything,
rendering is much faster now with the move to WebKit.

One possibility is your mail summary database has accumulated a lot of
cruft and needs garbage collected.  Unfortunately we don't yet run this
automatically so it has to be done manually.  Eventually I'd like to tie
it into Folder - Expunge and File - Empty Trash.

Shutdown Evolution and try running this little script:
