Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.2-1.1
Severity: normal
The screen drawing of the Evolution Calendar view is extremely slow. It is
slowest in day view (with 1 or more days shown side by side). The drawing in
week, month and list view is faster, but still quite slow.
Moving an appointment from one day to another or within one day is nearly
impossible because the screen is only updated every few seconds. Sliding
another window on top of the Evolution window causes a very long trace of
the old window positions which stays there for up to 1 minute.
During all this drawing the CPU usage is at 100% and interestingly most of
this is the Xorg process. All other processes' responsiveness as reduced
dramatically.
I'm using an Intel Pentium M 1.86 GHz CPU in an ASUS M6V laptop. It has an
ATI Radeon Mobility X600 graphics chip. I'm using the Radeon driver, because
the proprietary ATI driver doesn't support dual screen well enough.
On another PC I'm using the very same Debian installation but with an NVidia
graphics cards. It doesn't have any drawing speed issues. So I guess the
problem is that the drawing is done too elaborate, which doesn't attract
attention on fast graphics cards with fast drivers. Using slower drivers the
problem gets apparent.
