[Evolution] Global Address List unusable slowness in Evo 2.10.1 (and 2.8 as well)

Hi Ari, From Evolution 2.10.x, we have added support for GAL caching. All you have to do is to choose it for offline use by right clicking on the GAL addressbook. Also, the refresh interval can be controlled using the gconf key - /apps/evolution/addressbook/gal_cache_interval which would be set
