Sorry, I did not yet do the necessary steps to obtain a backtrace. But I can add the following information which might hopefully help.
Sometimes, Evolution randomly decides to do some stuff in the Background and then takes up a lot of CPU time and produces a high number of disk accesses. This lasts for about 1 Minute, and while the CPU is at 100%, about half of that time is actually waiting for IO operations. It appears that while this happens, I cannot close the gnome-panel clock applet. I do not yet know the exact causalities, I can only share my experience: When the Evolution Application is started, it sometimes does the disk- intensive work without me interacting with it. Even when the evolution Apllication is not stated, I expericend this behavior, but I do not know if the heavy CPU- and Disk-Usage started before I opened the clock applet, or if opening the applet triggered the heavy usage. -- clock applet opens dropdown, but then does not close for several minutes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567262 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
