I've been wondering why I was the only evolution user that had the problem shown my e-d-s crash bug (can't remember the bug number, and bugzilla isn't responding right now). Even when it did show the calendar, it would take several minutes to show the appointments.
Convinced that it was related to my SMP system, and resource locking, I copied my calendar.ics file over to a single processor system I have and fired up evolution there. While there were no crashes, it still took forever to show anything in the calendar. So I decided it was time to take a look into my calendar.ics file itself. Here's what I found.
Size: 1.1MB
Number of Events: 4486
Now that was odd, I didn't remember putting that many events in the calendar.... so open the file in my editor and poked around. I found many events that were created on May 11, for the date of Dec. 31, 2027, with no summary, description or anything. Must have been created by some bug in CVS at that time. Took a while and removed them.
Now my file looks like:
Size: 137kB
Number of Events: 233
And guess what!? No crashes, and it's a WHOLE lot faster. What a shocker!
Anyway, I'll close the bug as soon as I can get to bugzilla again.
