>Description:

I have not too fast notebook, but its speed is enough to show any gnome2
applications, as well as mozilla without problem.
But for evolution all works ok, except compose function.

When I compose mail in evolution, I enter To: address, then press <Tab> to 
go to CC: field, I've got delay there about 5 sec on not loaded machine.
Ok, when I've feel CC: and go to subject, I've got delay about 5 sec again.

It is not swap issue, no any swapping activity while I do this.

With evolution 1.2 there was no such problem. All other input fileds (text
area, menus, etc) works without problem.

I have a few items in address book, and address-book complition works fast
(no significant delay). 

On my 1Gz machine problem no so effective seen, but, still there is delay
when I go from To: to Cc: and from CC: to Subject:. This delay is about 1/2
sec.

I guess it is bug in code or bug in threading code.
