Kontact without KDE -> slow bloatware

[Stuart Naylor]

Lol, well we all have an opinion.

My objective is to ween people off outlook and whilst my main objective is the roundcube inteface 
& BYOD connections I know I will still have occasions where I have diehard desktop outlook users.

You are probably right it is a bit bloatish but it ticks every box and by the looks of things will mean 
I will not be caught in the trap of no sorry it can't do that.

Hardware is so cheap and plentifull that I never really think of ram considerations. I was once a 
big recycling advocate but when you do the math on energy consumption and support of old 
hardware just doesn't make sense.

Yeah I found that with non KDE desktops its not great and I am not usually a KDE fan. At least it 
got me trying some new distro's and Netrunner, Mageia and Mint kde seemed very responsive.

I like Bodhi and enlightment if your going the small system way, there is nothing small about it 
apart from its footprint.
I would even say from use of both Bodhi might even pip LXDE but its all opinion.

If you where going to use Kontact on windows for whatever rationale of madness does anyone 
have any tips on maybe speeding things up. Can you preload the KDE framework?
