I haven't done performace tests based on the size of the calendar.ics,
but I did some tests based on event numbers, and I had like 4000-6000
events (4 events per day in > 12 months) loading in 1-2 seconds. If you
can hand me over your calendar.ics file, I can make more tests. If you
can't (confidential info, for instance), try to guess how many events
you've got (for this, the best thing is to write a simple program that
uses CalClient to open the calendar and cal_client_get_n_objects to get
the event count).
