Thanks - I will look.  I did google around some before but didn't find 
anything other than the link I posted before

If you can recall anything let me know.  Would really love to fix this. 
Whatever it is that's wrong wasn't happening with 14.04 so it's probably a

released it should probably be cleaned up.  What is the issue with akonadi 
that causes the delay without any cpu?
