Hi, I made the following test over an empty DB: time syncevolution --daemon=no database=pim-manager-test backend=evolution-contacts --import ./5000vCard.txt ... real 7m6.102s user 0m55.495s sys 0m7.416s I noticed that during the import at regular time slots the printout stuck. Since our HW does not allow fast r/w operations I'm just wondering if during the import/sync a r/w operation is performed for any contact.
