Concrete problems

Unconfirmed

TODO: cleanup this list for items that are obsolete. Ask the relevant persons for a status update if needed.

  • Evolution takes too long to switch between components. Cecilia González from the Women's Summer Outreach Program is looking into this.
  • Tomboy startup time scales nonlinearly with the number of notes/links, or something like that (11 seconds on Federico's machine).
  • GConf batched requests are not implemented. Cody Russell is working on this.
