I was only explaining my experiences and, now with knowledge of the bug you mentioned above, maybe it explains why the Debian Evolution runs just like the Ubuntu version, because the libcairo2 package was consistent on my Ubuntu system and I only installed the Debian Evolution packages. Anyway, I only had a few minutes to test it, but it seems like that was the problem and it is so much more responsive, so thank you so much. I know there is some debate in the bug you mentioned about whether to keep the patch or not, but I say remove it since Evolution is a widely used program and it greatly increases the performance. I plan on testing it some more, and I encourage others to try upgrading from hardy-proposed and test it too so you can give your feed back before we mark this as fixed (just to be certain).
Thank you so much for your help with this bug. Now if we can speed up the message reading pane in Evolution, because it seems like every message, no matter what the message, I get a half a second or more of "Formatting message", even if it's only a couple of lines in length. Does anyone else experience this, or maybe I'm just seeing things? And every time I delete a group of emails at one time, it doesn't hide the very last deleted email but remains listed and crossed out, even if I press Send/Receive. It's not until I change folders or somehow refresh the email list does it goes away. Know of any bugs filed for these two issues or should I file them myself? -- [8.04] Drawing evolution window on screen very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225950 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
