           Summary: kontact is very slow to start if calendar is displayed
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: doc.evans at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I just compared the start time for identically-configured kontact on two
computers:

on a slower KDE3 machine, time was 6 seconds
on brand new KDE4 machine, the time was 18 seconds

As far as I can tell, the reason seems to be because I am starting kontact with
the calendar view, and I have two google calendars incorporated in the view. It
appears (maybe I'm wrong) that KDE3 starts and displays without waiting for all
remote calendars to finish downloading, whereas KDE4 seems to wait until
everything is downloaded (which can take a long time; and might even fail if
there's a network problem).

Anyway, the basic bug report here is that starting kontact in calendar view is
simply glacial.
