Re: [Evolution] Contacts runs like treacle

Hm, that's really strange.  The minicard view does have a lot of
performance issues but I worked to eliminate a few of them (the fact
that it generates a full relayout whenever you insert a card into the
model was the biggest one) for 1.4.  It's still a lot slower than the
e-table view, but the difference isn't that noticeable until you start
loading huge numbers of contacts (like over 10k).  At least, not for
me.  Which version of 1.4 are you running?
