Hi!  This is just for information:

        I'm on Fedora 18 64-bits, using Mate and Evolution 3.6.3.  I
have some little issues with performance too.  Yesterday I ran Bleachbit
and now is working better.  Not perfect but better.  Also, when I run
Evolution from console it claims that some font config file is
deprecated.  I think this is slowing down my Evo too.

That's all, regards,
Lailah

No, because the computer is actually possibly doing nothing - so more
horsepower will not help.  That is why it is important to see what is
actually going on.

Most of the performance problems are encounter are not due to
insufficient resources; but are the result of something waiting on
something, that is possibly waiting on something.  Everyone waiting.
Computers are more powerful and applications more complex - so this is
the 21st century performance problem.  Fortunately it usually isn't that
difficult to suss out what is going on [or not going on].

&gt; And I don't want to do old way of solving problems: \
&quot;If your &gt; program is slow, buy a new \
computer&quot;. That's not the way.

Nobody recommended that.

As does everyone here.
