           Summary: PIM API performance
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: SyncEvolution
           Product: SyncEvolution

Performance and resource consumption of the PIM API implementation is relevant
in several ways:
- writing to disk must be minimized (because of flash write cycle limitations)
- response times for queries, in particular caller ID lookups, must be small 
  enough to not be noticable by a human user; the goal is < 30ms for high
  numbers of contacts (10000).

Compared to other embedded devices like phones or tablets, an IVI head unit
typically has a faster CPU and more RAM (4GB?!).

The implementation tries to achieve these goals by not building up complex data
structures on disk for on-disk searching.  Instead it assembles the unified
address book in memory and searches there.

If necessary, additional shortcuts might be implemented:
- pre-start daemon to load contacts into memory during head unit startup
- do on-disk search for caller ID while still assembling the in-memory 
  data structure

Before doing that, performance measurements will be needed.
