Comment 3 for bug 1339016

We use syncevolution, which communicates with Google on the remote side and evolution-data-server on the local side to store events. There is no API in syncevolution to limit the scope of events retrieved. We need to look into modifying it to do so, and to optimize it's operational time as it's ridiculously slow (this in part is likely due to evolution-calendar-factory using a flat file to store the calendar events).

Renato has indicated there is a newer version of syncevolution which has recently been released that may improve the situation. The next step is to try this new version and see if it helps.
