FYI, I tried (again) to use org-contacts a while back and still see the
same speed problems. It's great for small contacts, but not for large.
I think what would be needed would be to read the file and store it in
an elisp structure and then just stat() the file every time a lookup
happened and if it hasn't changed, then use the elisp or else reparse.
It's not like the data should be changing *that* much so it shouldn't
need to be reread a lot. And it's the parsing/searching that takes too
long.
But I certainly like the org-mode format much much much better than
bbdb(3). Which I'm still using, unfortunately.
