I was able to get a core dump and it looks like the evolution process is 
in /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 during the time when cpu usage is near 100%.  
Changing my theme from LegacyHuman to Human 'fixes' the problem.  See 
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/393534>.

I'd be curious to know if anyone else can reproduce the problem when 
using the LegacyHuman theme.

Cheers,

Steve
