ORBIT problems, probably. I notice that, when Evolution gets that slow, if I
do (as root):

(close Evo)
killev
oaf-slay
rm -rf /tmp/orbit-(my-user-name)

Then Evo speeds up TREMENDOUSLY. Both start up, and widow openings - new
message, reply, etc.
I know that if I *don't* periodically do this, Evo gets very slow.
Especially if I leave X, and then come back into X.
