Please describe the problem:
I imported all of my contacts from Apple Address Book as vCards. Most of them had embedded contact photos (fairly large ones), which Evolution imported correctly. However, whenever I attempt to view a contact with such a photo attached, the entire Evolution UI blocks for 1-3 minutes, using 100% of both of my CPUs. I'm not sure if it's because the images are large, because of a bug in the importer, or because the originals never even existed on this computer, but it's really unacceptable.

This problem isn't limited to the evolution UI, either. When I access my contacts through evolution, it is the evolution process which eats 100% of my CPUs. However, if I attempt to sync this address book to my Sony Clie using gnome-pilot, evolution-data-server exhibits the same exact behavior when it gets to a contact that has an attached photograph.

I am currently trying to remove the photos from my address book (since I actually need to use the contacts), but it's hard because the UI also blocks for ~3 minutes while opening the "Edit Contact Information" window.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a contact using Apple Address Book and attach a photograph to it
2. Export said contact as a vCard file
3. Import the vCard into evolution
4. Attempt to open the newly imported contact


Actual results:
Evolution freezes for several minutes

Expected results:
Evolution successfully loads the contact in a second or so

Does this happen every time?
Yes
