Public bug reported: After upgrade to Hardy I've noticed that redrawing in Evolution was very slow. A quick google search led me to http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.gnome/25373, so I checked if the Ubuntu package contains the same patch. According to http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.5.18/ the bug affects only xorg 1.3 and older (Hardy has xorg 1.4), and the workaround should be already in cairo 1.6. So I tried to recompile the package without 03 -turn_on_buggy-repeat_handling.dpatch and it indeed fixed the slowness. Since Hardy no longer needs the patch, I suggest dropping it from the package.
