Re: [Evolution] 22 Process, and load of 2.72......

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Evolution is a multithreaded application, so the fact that 22 threads
are open isn't that concerning. Probably your "Summary" page tried to
load all of your folders at once (adding 1 thread per get-folder
operation) and once threads are open they aren't closed because they are
pooled and can thus be reused later.

The load average can probably also be explained by the "opening a ton of
folders all at the same time". Obviously this takes a toll on the
system.

Fortunately this has been optimized a bit in a couple different ways
recently:

1. the Summary no longer asks for all available mail folders when
displaying mail summary info, instead it only asks for the folders which
you have specifically asked it to show the details of.

2. the mailer code now limits the max number of threads to 12 or so.
