I'm not sure what release of the kernel or X server you're running, but I wouldn not be at all surprised if the *real* problem lies elsewhere - Evolution is a fairly hefty program, and it's quite likely your system is busy thrashing or doing something else.. First thing to do is have a 'vmstat' or 'top' or something running while you re-create the problem, and see what exactly the system is busy doing. If you're seeing a lot of paging and/or disk I/O during your pauses, the problem is probably not GTK (at least not directly).
