I'm just using the "local" calendar, which I brought over from my old
computer's Evolution 2.28.3. I copied the ~/.local/share/evolution
folder from my rdiff-backup. I think Evolution did something to upgrade
the mail contents, but I don't think it did anything to the old
calendar. So my guess is that, except for having been moved from
~/.evolution to the new location, the calendar is the same I was using
previously. (Between the 10.04 version on my old computer I tried Ubuntu
11.04 on the new box but switched to Fedora 15 because of some problems
I was having. So the rdiff-backup was from the Ubuntu 11.04. I don't
think Evolution had done anything to change the format of the mail file
while I was using that installation.)

Checking from the command line gave the following. 
[eric localhost ~]$ evolution --force-shutdown
Evolution process exited normally
[eric localhost ~]$ evolution
Migrating cached data
Migrating config data
Migrating local user data
  rmdir /home/eric/.evolution/tasks
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          tasks
^C
...
[I removed /home/eric/.evolution/tasks and subdirectories]

Then:

[eric localhost ~]$ evolution &
[1] 7371

This hasn't improved the speed of the calendar.

Thanks.
