Description of problem: Selecting and showing an HTML email from amazon.com takes something like 30 to 60 seconds on my AMD Sempron 2500+, with CPU usage at ~100% during that time. There is no obvious reason for this; the emails are not particularly long, nor have particularly many images. The situation has not always been like this. At some point, about a year ago, something in Amazon's emails changed and they became painfully slow to load in Evolution. (The old emails are still quick to load.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Subcsribe to receive amazon.com email ads. 2. View them in Evolution. 3. Wait. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Can you attach a sample email as an mbox file so I can import it to try to reproduce the delay? Sanitize the contents of the email as necessary.

Thanks, I can reproduce this somewhat. Only takes about 5 to 10 seconds on my machine with Evolution 2.12.1, which is half as fast as yours.
Created attachment 255371 [details] proposed gtkhtml patch for gtkhtml; with this patch, it takes only a little time to display, and i didn't realize any visual difference between the time before and after patch, maybe it can be patched in this way. (The patch is without ChangeLog entry and so on because the gnome's bugzilla is down today).
Moving this upstream where we will continue to track the problem. Please see [1] for further updates. [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435620
