Comment 18 for bug 87796

Confirm here. Ubuntu 10.10 using Google calendar.

It improves if you choose the type "on the web" instead of "Google" when you create it. For the URL you should use the ical link which you can find in your settings page of your Google calendar. This will be a read-only calendar though.

Still a process called "e-calendar-fact" causes the lag. every time you click on the clock applet (for showing or hiding) this process uses up to 100% of CPU.

I have marked the check mark for "Copy calendar contents locally for offline operation" for all my calendars (5-6 on the web cals). I have all the calendars in different folders in:

~/.evolution/cache/calendar

But there is only one "calendar.ics" file in:

~/.evolution/calendar/local/system

This file is related to only one of my calendars and as long as I only leave that calendar enabled everything works smoothly with no lag. As soon as I enable my other (on the web) calendars that "e-calendar-fact" causes the lag. (Renaming the file "calendar.ics" also results in lag). It seems as if the program only checks the file in "~/.evolution/calendar/local/system" and not the ones in"~/.evolution/cache/calendar". For the rest each time it grabs the information from web I guess, that's why it takes a sec after each click.

For now I'm living with only one calendar enabled trying to figure out what's wrong!
