[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Super Duper Slow Calendar

[Daniel Goldenholz]

I manually created each event. Here is why:
I had the problem for a while, and during the time of the problem I had 
been adding new ical events.
Step 1, I synced subsets of my calendars until I located the troublesome 
one.
Then when I was troubleshooting it, I cut and pasted events out of my 
synced calendar into a temp calendar. I cut all but 5 recently added 
ones, and the trouble still existed.
Also, I set my palm date to 2011, and purged all previous events, and 
the calendar was still slow.
Therefore in light of the above two bits of info, I suspected that the 
calendar had somehow gotten some screwy corruption that was hidden from me.
By manually rewriting the events, I was sure that I knew exactly what 
was going in.
Also - I made sure to avoid "banner" events, i.e. events that span more 
than one day. Instead I used "repeating" events. I don't know if that 
helped or not, but I read online that this is a known bug as well.
