I'm not sure this is really the problem.  By default Evo doesn't fetch
any images or content, so unless your users have enabled that to happen
by default (why?!?!) it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe you're seeing this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435620

I still run into this in Evo 2.12; it would be nice if someone fixed it.
There should be plenty of info in the bug and attached emails to allow
it to be reproduced and fixed.  The problem might be in gtkhtml though,
not Evo per se.  Note that in order to be this bug, the CPU must be
active while Evo tries to display the message.  If the CPU is idle it's
something else (you didn't mention either way).


Other than that and a few other small glitches Evo 2.12 has been easy to
upgrade to and works better than previous releases.  I do get occasional
hangs for no apparent reason (no CPU overload), but they don't last that
long.
