I’m with John. The main reason I don’t use Evolution is because it’s so damn slow. It’s slow as hell when I’m at home which I can somewhat understand (except that I’m on a 10 Mb/s link and the .edu I work at has a much larger pipe), but when I’m sitting in my office 40 foot from the Exchange server it’s extremely frustrating.

I can only hope that these patches get incorporated into upstream, and quickly.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

The extreme slowness of evo-exchange has been my number one annoyance in using GNOME for quite some time now.

Thanks to varadhan and the Evo team for this great stuff!

I think you meant milliseconds.

Amazing work!

But don’t you mean “milliseconds”? Ie, if all the times are in seconds, then 0.82 is 820 ms (milliseconds).

Anyway, that’s still incredible. Congrats to Varadhan!

Well done on the performance increase!
You should have used a log scale on the Y axis,
for highlighting relative differences like this.
