Not at all. The issue is that evolution is opening lots of small files on the local hard disk (not via NFS - I'm running an NFS server, not client), which resource starves the NFS server running on the same box. I highly doubt this problem is isolated to evolution, but since it's the application th

I beg to differ - this is a bug (albeit a bit of a touchy-feely bug with little hard data). Probably kernel related more than anything (lots of small files being opened/closed, causing excessive interrupt load/busy waiting). Possibly even the SATA disk/drivers doing bad things (haven't looked at th

Attached is a diff I've done that seems to fix the issue for me. I've squeezed the patches from Gnome bug 128983 into the source from 6.06. Not sure if it's 100% correct, but may help others who are suffering from misaligned project plans. ** Attachment added: "Frankenpatch of diffs in Gnome bugzi
