Comment 15 for bug 365588

Just as an update: after 2+ hours with no apparent changes in the performance of evolution, I decided to see what would happen by turning them back off and then re-enabling the switches 1 at a time. This particular one seems to have the most effect:

net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6

I'm wondering if this isn't an issue with applications being able to communicate with X/xorg due to issues with IPV6.
