           Summary: Hang up on attempt to edit field of existing entry
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: 3.4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: tokoe kde org
        ReportedBy: vdicarlo dicarlolaw com


Version:           3.4 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.9-default

Edit of existing entry swamps cpu long delay (2-4 min) for keyboard entries in edit fields beginning when cursor is put in entry field. Same problem when start Kaddressbook from Kontact.

Ksysguard shows plenty of hardware memory and no swap file activity, but about 85% processor usage by Kaddressbook or Kontact, depending on which one is used to start addressbook.

Processor is Intel Pentium III (Katmai) 500mH, 512KB level I cache.
There are 512mB memory, a 1 gig swap file, and 3 or 4 gig left on the partition.

There are about 5,000 entries in the address book, most of which were added by importing vcard 3.0 or csv files exported from other applications.

I'm old to computers, but new to Linux and KDE. Thanks for offering us such an impressive free and better alternative to Microsoft. I am willing to help to the extent that my limited expertise permits.
