Description Brian Kerrick Nickel 2006-12-20 19:14:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When formatting an email from amazon.com, CPU usage jumps to 100% and evolution becomes intermittently responsive. The CPU usage drops and evolution starts responding as soon as all the images have loaded.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Register an account with Amazon.com and subscribe to emails.
2. Click on an email when it arrives.

Actual results:
Described above.

Expected results:
System should remain responsive.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

For me it is the same, though I observe Evolution becoming more like "unresponsive" rather than "intermittently responsive" while formatting the mail. 

I configured  Evolution to load images only for contacts in the address book (Amazon is not in there). Mail is retrieved via IMAP and is mirrored locally for offline viewing. 

However, the 100% CPU usage also happens for previously read (and thus supposedly locally availabe) Amazon mails. Some of those were retrieved with "load all images" set, which take very long to render. For some mails, it is more than 1 minute on a Pentium M 1.4Ghz with 2GB RAM! Those retrieved with "load images from contacts" render much faster, but still slow (6-10 seconds). Also, some of the images seem to be loaded anyway.
