[Bug 458453] Re: beam.smp uses lots of CPU on desktopcouch contacts lookup

i just installed 10.10 - and it seems unusable. intermittently beam.smp comes up and the system is completely unresponsiv. cpu load is not visibly high, but interaction is essentially stopped. 
gui behaviour is changed - clicking does result in 'attached document to pointer' (with +, means copying?),

it seems a serious problem - in the sense that it is a SHOW STOPPER for
anybody installing a fresh system (possibly having a large collection of
contacts or many files on ubuntu one, which is my case)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: erlang

i'm having very slow automatic contacts lookup under karmic using evolution 2.28.1-oubuntu1, erlang-base 1:13.b.1-dfsg-2ubuntu1, and desktopcouch 0.4.4-0ubuntu1.  CPU usage by beam.smp spikes up to about 80% and stays there for multiple seconds -- i'd say as long 20-30 -- before allowing input to continue.  it renders the automatic contact lookup actually counterproductive, not helpful.

would love to help squash thisbug, please advice where i should look to try and help.
