In my case the CPU goes to 100%, so the machine is sluggish but not 100% 
unresponsive.  If I exit evolution everything returns to normal.  It 
will happen every time I compose an email, but will also happen at 
seemingly random intervals otherwise.

automatically passing the passphrase in F9, whereas that hasn't worked 
for me in F8.
