don't know if it helps, but i've had issues with Evolution Data Server 1.8. it occasionally churns out of control, sucking up lots of cycles and memory and has to be killed.
Ekiga experiences similar startup issues, and i understand it's also integrated with EDS. don't know if that's the problem, but thought it was worth passing along. -- Gaim 2.0 unusably slow in Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/67195 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
