I'm having similar problem. I have Ubuntu 10.10. Evolution 2.30.3. It operates UN-REASONABLY SLOW. It is CONSTANTLY actively doing something in the background with status showing: "Filtering new message(s) (xxx% complete)".
This percentage complete increases constantly. This process updates the percentage complete in a staggered manner. It is fast and then slow and then fast again and then slow again and NEVER FINISHES. I can watch it FOR HOURS and observe that it will get to 99%, and then IMMEDIATELY go back to 0% complete. The process is GRINDING all the iron-oxide off of my hard drive with a vigor that I haven't EVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!
