I'm sorry, but this comment goes straight into Clifford Stoll
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Stoll> territory. I don't know
how to use this sysprof or other unnamed profiling tool in order to
determine what will make evolution stop sucking. It's a fact, on this
machine,  that it will consume *nearly all of CPU* if left to itself.

I've run enough 'sudo kill' against the evolution process to seriously
consider asking the S.O. to switch to a more intelligently designed
<http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/26/essentials-2006> e-mail
client. But, it's my cross to bear as it was me that switched us to
GNU/Linux + Gnome in the first place - and the default Gnome e-mail
client (evolution) is total suck.
