Hmm. Did you try whether this is caused by the number of contacts in the 
address book?

What happens when you try to delete them (via the corresponding context 
menu entry in KAddressBook)?

Forget about Control centre/Advanced/KDE Resources. KDE Resources are no 
longer supported directly by KAddressBook. KAddressBook does now use 
Akonadi. Simply create additional address books in KAddressBook.

I suggest to contact the kde-pim mailing list to get answers to your 
question about the DBus interface.
