[Evolution] Bug#425954: saving an entry in the addressbook is slow like a dead snail

[Tomas Pospisek]

Package: libebook1.2-5
Version: 1.6.3-5
Severity: normal

Ekiga's addressbook here contains 29 entries. Adding *one* new entry
on my P3, 866MHz, 1G RAM here takes the incredible amount of **14**
secons, while CPU usage shoots up to 100%. This makes it unusable in
practice in a lot of situations such as f.ex. manually copying over
your pen-an-paper addressbook.

The addressbook Ekiga is using is - I guess - evolution's addressbook,
since Ekiga depends on libebook1.2-5.

This problem looks suspiciously like the 2005-filled #332879.

What, I wonder, can libebook1.2-5 possibly be doing that it takes it 14s
with 100% CPU to add one simple entry to a 29 count simple data
structure?
