Re: [Evolution] gnome 1.4

Chris,

This got me to thinking.

Try this and see if it helps with speeding things up.

    Open the Control Center and select Sound (under Multimedia).
    Disable "Enable server at startup"

Does this improve performance?

I'm not running 2.4, but I'm also not enabling sound because it is
really slowing down the startup of thing on my system.  I'm not sure
when this happened, but it sound's like the sort of thing you're
suffering from.

I don't need to restart to see the results of this (your mileage may
vary).  All I have to do is open control center, select sound, enable
sound server startup and click try/ok and things take forever to appear.
Disable sound server startup and things work fast again.

Hopefully, if this is your problem someone might be able to figure out
what's causing this.  I'd love to be able to enable sound again.
