Bug Description
When using Evolution on a LTSP client with "a great deal of mails" i can see the window slowly being drawn on the screen. All other programs such as Firefox with intensive pages draws fast.
CPU and RAM is not an issue and the network response time is under 1ms.
This problem even accurs if i only use one client.
Don't know if this bug should be under Evolution or LTSP, move if you feel that its missplaced.

I'm experiencing the same thing, even in small mailboxes. Trying to navigate through the listed folders and emails, as well as resizing columns are extremely slow and choppy. But when logging directly on the server and running the application on the server, the problem doesn't exist, so the problem definitely involves using the thin client. I don't experience any other type of choppy or slow down performance with other applications including OpenOffice and Firefox. How do I go about debugging this issue?
In the previous Ubuntu (Gusty), Evolution menus were extremely slow and navigating through the emails was quick. It seems that Hardy has reversed this. This certainly needs to be addressed since it is Ubuntu's default email program and thin clients are used in schools and business and not by home users and since it is an LTS release.
