[CalendarServer-users] Limitations on number events?

[Sean McAvoy]

Looks like the lookups only happen on import :)

I have used CalDAVClientLibrary to connect to the server and run a  
simple ls on a users calendar directory and it results in the script  
erroring with "Connection reset by peer", it really seems like the  
server cannot process large amounts of .ics files (this user has about  
2500 .ics fileS). It took almost 5min before the reset by peer happened.

this was done against a iCal server running 10.5.6, I plan to do the  
same with Calendar Server.
