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

e-d-s is slow at times, but shouldn't be _that_ slow. On my laptop,
ekiga is slower then evolution, but it only takes about one second per
contact. Can you try an equivalent operation in evolution, and see how
long that takes? It's also interesting to know if the addressbook was
created by ekiga, or if the addressbook originally was created in
evolution.

I choose to not reopen the bug you refer to since it doesn't give any
more details about the problem.

Cheers,
Øystein
