  I second that, I have noticed the slowness & cpu usage with evo 2.10 &
FreeBSD 6.2.  I was going to upgrade before I reported, but looks like 
the upgrade won't fix the problem.

I have seen slowdowns as well.  You can speed up start time by disabling
unused plug-ins as Evo spends a lot of time in the linker when starting.
As for the rest of the slowdowns, please report them using GNOME
Bugzilla.  My research indicates that there is nothing FreeBSD-specific
to this problem.

Same here on sched_4bsd.
Also I can say, that problem appears earlier than last release of gnome.
And it becomes worse with last update.

(same bits: startup, right-click on attachment, move message to folder,
change sort order /that only on last evolution/).

I've also experienced this since moving to 7-CURRENT (and tracking
through to the current 7.0-BETA2) and have been unable to figure out
why.  Startup takes between 30 and 40 seconds, during with the
"evolution" process consumes 100% of one of the cores of the dual-core
processor.  After startup, various actions (including right-clicking
on attachments) take approximately 10 seconds to complete the first
time the action is done, this time with the "evolution-data-server"
process consuming 100% of one core.  Running ktrace against the
evolution process during startup shows large amounts of apparently
random information, but I don't have a pre-7 system to compare it to.

I use SCHED_ULE and have had no other noticeable system slowdowns.
All ports have been built from source with no extra settings in
/etc/make.conf.

$ cat /var/db/ports/evolution/options

# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for evolution-2.12.1_3

Since RELENG_7s GENERIC still comes with SCHED_4BSD I assume that you
still have the old one.

To be sure you can verify this by:

  % sysctl kern.sched.name

In your case it should be:

  kern.sched.name: 4BSD

To switch to the new you have to build a new kernel.

Pretty good described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Just be sure to replace

  options SCHED_4BSD  # 4BSD scheduler

With

  options SCHED_ULE   # ULE scheduler

In my case it resolved some mouse and audio problems under X.Org.
Don't know if evolution is affected, too, but you can give it a
chance anyway.

I built it according to defaults, so I've got the GENERIC kernel running
right now. As such, I don't know the answer to your question, but if you
tell me how to check I'll get back to you :)

An random idea:  What scheduler are you using in your kernel
configuration?  Do you already use  SCHED_ULE  ?

evolution slow on 7.0

2007-11-14 Thread James
Hi folks,

first, I know the subject line is a goldmine for jokes, but I couldn't
think of a better way to phrase it.

Ever since I moved to FreeBSD 7.0, the evolution mail client has become
ridiculously slow for me. It takes two or three minutes to start up,
right clicking on a folder takes several minutes to display a context
menu etc

My install process was as follows:

1. backup my home directory from a FreeBSD 6.2 install
2. Format the hard drive
3. Install 7.0 beta 1.5
4. csup sources and install beta 2.0
5. pkg_add xorg, gnome etc -- evolution was slow as a dog from this
6. portsnap fetch extract
7. follow the instructions in UPDATING for updating gnome

I tried cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution && make deinstall && make
reinstall, to see if something had simply gone wrong during the build,
but nothing changed.

Any ideas?

James
