I've been running Evolution on a 2.4.0-test11. I had no slowdowns
running 0.6, and when I upgraded to 0.8 nothing changed.

Then I messed with the locales, edited /etc/environment, and whoops, Evo
slowed down MUCH. Every action from startup to compose took at least 5
seconds more than before... and no messages appeared in the terminal
from which I launched Evo.

And, as magically as the problem appeared, it went away. Maybe I updated
some component (libc6 2.2?) which did some bad things: Now I'm happy...

I run Debian unstable with daily "apt-get upgrade" and weekly "apt-get
dist-upgrade". I guess I've moved from woody to sid, haven't checked
that out yet..
