Speaking of Evolution, is this normal for large emails to take forever to parse?

I send my rsync logs to mail. When I use evolution to imap to dovecot on my server that collects these logs, it takes a good 34 seconds to load that 3.7MB text rsync log email (on LAN so network speed shouldn't be an issue), on an i7. 100% CPU utilization. During this time the GUI is frozen - this is the "bad UI design" issue with Evolution.

Almost seems it has a O(n^2) algorithm or worse when parsing emails, a 300K rsync log takes about a half second or so to parse, which is still ridiculous on an i7. It's only Evolution that takes forever to parse, text clients like Alpine which I use more frequently seem OK.

i have amazing machines. alien like. and i send each night a simple plain text message from cron that does something similar to yours. i never checked it's actual size, but i expect it's around a few megs. maybe more then 10.

yes, it's normal on alien machine to choke a few secs before you can scroll through it.

i made another post. about my machines. it's basically a bunch of fast ssd's and lots of tmpfs ram things. still. sometimes u have to wait a bit.


i dont know exactly what is evolution doing during that time (when it's choked) but i know for a fact that when it's done, u can search inside the mail. scroll at natural speed. just have to have the patience.

I don't really have a slug of a machine either, even if it's getting old (see signature; and regular x86_64 kernel compiles are less than 5 minutes on this machine without distcc). I'd say that a 3.7MB text file should be processed near instantaneously, a 3.7MB gzip file uncompresses in less time than it takes to open that mail. Must be indexing of some sort, as yes, after it finishes, it scrolls fine. However it needs to go through the wait every time that mail is clicked, and since the UI is frozen, I'd call that a bug.

Probably need to submit a bug against Evolution upstream as this is a clear problem. After all, if a text client handles it instantaneously...

EDIT:

Looks like webkit-gtk is the slow routine. Evolution is using webkit-gtk-2.2:3, unfortunately I could not replicate this problem in Epiphany which uses webkit-gtk-2.9.5:4 ... Need to see if other programs linked against webkit-gtk-2.2:3 are b0rked as well...

Ah... I was reporting what was contained in the DEPENDS file that's stored in the database.

Currently slot 3 has webkit-gtk-2.4.10 on my system.
Slot 4 has 2.10.9 which is what epiphany is using.

I hate webkit-gtk. This thing takes forever to compile.

i've had 7.9 mb mail the other day. u're right. it takes forever to open. dont know why. it was in plain text. something send from crond.

in other news, went back to systemd & gnome. sorry.


PS i'm really sorry. i want to hate systemd. but i can't. and it's mostly gnome. but not only. it's love it or hate it. and i can't hate it. sorry.

i'm only posting my many useflags because i got to research about them recently. and there are flags that you would want to get rid of. in some environments. and some you would want to keep in others. i've been carrying the same useflag since 2001. improve it. change it here and there. for that machine. for that machine.

i have standards. like for sql... this use. i dont know every single flag i am carrying since 2001. or mail (i use cyrus). or apache. or other types of servers. proxy and dns's and others. it's just a type of server. i copy the USE. change what i know has to be changed.

recently, since now there's a wiki, i started looking up, use by use. some are weird (in my usage), some are spot on.

back in 2001 there wasn't a wiki...

i still think, in my experience, the hardest thing i ever had to do in linux was the first time i did my first cyrus/postfix/amavis/spamassassin/postgrey/mysql/horde complete install.

back then, we had servers for each task. for spam. for postfix. for cyrus. for apache. for mysql. each different machines.

those flags I knew. i switched from slackware to gentoo because i was tired to compile stuff actually manually. on so many types of machines.

now, all i have is westmere and haswell. back then... i had a large array of weird intel and amd stuff.

a single nehalem now... does all that array did back then. it's funny. the use flag never was an issue.

include everything, filter out later what u dont need ... turned out to me now. that "later" moment.

for systems like pi, it's nothing. u can't exclude anything.

for servers... u can't exclude anything.

from desktop. i am unwilling to exclude anything.

maybe one. here or there. tony got me something to google. thanks tony.

but since i discovered wiki for useflags recently i been knee deep in make.confs files.

I am really struggling to think of a scenario where anyone would need the ability to edit 256bpp [sic] images on the same machine they use for games...

on the other hand, clearly other people here dont use cyrus-imap. which i find weird tbh.

or maybe other people dont run into the same type of trouble i run into.

for 2 years i stayed with cyrus-imapd because i couldn't figure out why cyrus-imap-admin would not install on version 2.5.


turns out... it's a flag thing. have to turn ON perl flag to get the cyradm util that you would normally get from cyrus-imap-admin. i'm still pissed there was no changelog where i could find that out.


had to find out on my own. that's why i'm quite excited about this wiki use flag thing. i am. really really am.

this stuff, i shoulda known. it's why i switched to gentoo. 2 years i used only cyrus-imapd-2.4 because i thought u couldn't get cyradm in 2.5. made my own tool in php.

2 days ago, i found out, i just had to enable the perl flag.


python and perl are 2 flags u dont want to enable globally. u just dont.

and we get to package.use. and mine... is always bigger then my make.conf. so much bigger. and more complicated.

i am starting to dislike this.

[axl]

one thing i am noticing more an more these days is that u can't have a system with a clean package.use.

none of my systems have a clean package.use. i cannot rely simply on USE. there are exceptions. and exceptions to exceptions.
