As you can see the packets per second graph is rather more interesting. When we look at what the traffic actually is (note: using "view -> time display format -> time of day" is useful), it's possible to see the same sequence of packets repeated during the long delay:
(C: client; S: server) C -> S: Req: TranslateCoordinates S -> C: Rep: TranslateCoordinates C -> S: Req: GrabServer, QueryPointer S -> C: Rep: QueryPointer (* now, repeated seven times *): * C -> S: Req: QueryPointer * S -> C: Rep: QueryPointer (* end repeated segment *) C -> S: Req: UngrabServer The whole segment above repeats hundreds of times during the long delay before the compose window appears. I've attached a pcap trace containing one of these repeated segments so you can examine it easily without having to dig through the whole trace. Also attached is a text version. ** Attachment added: "Repeated section, evo only traffic, one repeat" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27806563/trace_repeated_section.txt -- Long delay before new/compose window appears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
