Only seconds after the application finished did the Evo UI became unresponsive. The second run took 11s instead of 10s, I can imagine that this 1s difference is the impact. That's of course just speculation. Somebody would need to investigate this to be sure. However, on favoring: Note that the E-D-S test appended contacts. It didn't replace contacts. The Tracker test replaces contacts. If I append contacts with Tracker, the time to add 1000 contacts is under 5s instead of between 12s and 15s. So I gave a 'huge' favor to E-D-S, to be honest. I should for the E-D-S test lookup each contact and delete it, before adding the new one and committing it. > * You use the low-level Tracker API to create contacts in Tracker. > QtContacts should have been used instead, because that is the > API that is relevant for MeeGo and that corresponds to the one > you used for EDS. There is no lower level API for E-D-S as far as I know .. Afaik will the qct people repeat the test. Note, however, that the query that we used comes from QtContacts project. So it wont be much different. QtContacts doesn't add a lot of overhead on top of the queries that it produces. Not in performance. > Of course you have a point about the system as a whole, but > that still doesn't make the comparison any better.
