Hi guys,
I just got an, oh - several second blocking of the UI of Evolution
inside:
Thread 1 (Thread 0xb5c1a740 (LWP 775)):

This of course is down to the geniuses who decided that we need an
'fsync' in glib's g_file_set_contents (we don't).
Does anyone object if instead of g_file_set_contents we just use fopen,
fwrite, fclose ? any API method that does fsync is just a disaster-area
for latency on a loaded ext3 system; and it is -totally- un-necessary to
have some heavy-lifting transactional guarentees for an utter
corner-case, for a non-critical file anyway :-)
Thanks,
Michael.
