Hi folks, first, I know the subject line is a goldmine for jokes, but I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it. Ever since I moved to FreeBSD 7.0, the evolution mail client has become ridiculously slow for me. It takes two or three minutes to start up, right clicking on a folder takes several minutes to display a context menu etc My install process was as follows: 1. backup my home directory from a FreeBSD 6.2 install 2. Format the hard drive 3. Install 7.0 beta 1.5 4. csup sources and install beta 2.0 5. pkg_add xorg, gnome etc -- evolution was slow as a dog from this 6. portsnap fetch extract 7. follow the instructions in UPDATING for updating gnome I tried cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution && make deinstall && make reinstall, to see if something had simply gone wrong during the build, but nothing changed. Any ideas? James
