[Evolution] Help with speeding up Evolution over cifs Share

[James A R Brown <jarb1 uk2 net>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had some pointers to try and establish where we
are getting a bottleneck in speed.

We have pam_mounted cifs shares as user home directories and its all ok and
good, until evolution come to "storing folders" at which point it can stall
for a while (1500mails in inbox). Don't think its network, 1GB link... so
either Samba server or Evolution not liking the cifs mount.

So we sym linked the .evolution folder to a folder on the hard disk of the
machine. Quick as anything. 

The difference seems to be instantaneous (local HDD) to > 70sec over cifs.

Appreciate this is probably not an evolution issue, but had to start
somewhere.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

James
