Bug Description

I am using the e-calendar-factory --> dbus-daemon --> indicator-datetime chain. There are periods (outside my web calendar update time window even) that each one of these will consume 22 to 57% of cpu resources. And it goes on and on and on that way for some time. I have no idea how you guys arranged the messaging chain or prioritize the operations, but this is definitely a *low* priority task on the computer for it to be monopolizing my cpu resources like that. It gets squarely in the way of my other activities as it sucks the marrow out of my cpu. I consider this either a default-setting bug or just a bug in the basic planning of resource usage. The calendar event data does get where it is going, but uses a silly-over-the-top amount of effort to accomplish something as trivial as an event-record date-range query. Just saying.

Is there a way I can set a nice level to the driving process? Where would I do that? Is there some gconf setting that regulates the amount of cpu resources used in any way I can access it?

Thanks
