I use evolution heavily and despite the talk of speed improvements in 2.22, on the contrary I see it being _much_ slower, on the order of half as fast. This is running on FreeBSD 6.2-stable (circa Jan 1 2008) on amd64. Nothing else seems particularly slower, just evolution. In particular I see redraws go very slowly, redrawing part, pausing, redrawing more, pausing, etc. Also, on my P4 laptop (Dell 5160), the clock applet is crashing instantly on startup. The interesting bit of the backtrace there is: 0x296a2639 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6 #0 0x296a2639 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x296813e1 in waitpid () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x2962c242 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.2 #3 0x2935570b in g_spawn_sync () from /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x29355977 in g_spawn_command_line_sync () from /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0x2a435d47 in bugbuddy_segv_handle () from /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so #6 0x29633f81 in sigaction () from /lib/libpthread.so.2 #7 #8 0x287b8844 in polkit_caller_unref () from /usr/local/lib/libpolkit.so.2 I can live without the clock applet (although it's annoying) but I really do need evolution to work properly. Is there anything I can do to hopefully speed it up a bit? -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/ http://www.zazzle.com/fmayhar*
