Still a bug because same thing happens with the evolution-ews plugin for outlook corporate GALs (global address lists) being quite large, e.g. 65K contacts, whereby a single thread can use over 3GB RAM in gnome-contacts! Clearly it doesn't efficiently iterate through the contact list if it's bulk loading everything into RAM each time the GAL update is done...
