OK, I found the culprit (for me, at least): I had thousands of bogus
gmail contacts (created by a bug in thunderbird's google contacts
addon). I deleted them and now everything is fine. Sorry!

Title:
  Gnome contacts hangs with 100% CPU and growing memory.

Status in “gnome-contacts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  What I expected:
  That gnome-contacts would open and allow me to edit my contacts.

  What actually happened:
  The WM window decoration appeared but no application was drawn inside the window.  The gnome-contacts process run with 100% cpu usage and continuously growing memory usage until I kill it.

  This appears to be the same behavior as bug #1070315 that I filed against empathy so it's probably a common library.
  I've attached three backtraces which I collected by attaching to the gnome-contacts process and running the following commands:

  thread apply all bt
  cont
  wait ~ 10 seconds
  thread apply all bt
  cont
  wait ~10 seconds
  thread apply all bt
