Gajim has a hard time logging into an account for the first time with 1000 roster items
Bug description
I am trying to connect to an account with Gajim. The account hast 1000+ roster items and the UI blocks for a long time. Gajim burns CPU cycles like crazy. If the machine is too slow, I guess the connection times out. With a more powerful PC, Gajim can connect but is barely usable. I think Gajiim downloads avatars and what not but doesn't thread properly.
Other clients like the Thunderbird Chat thing or Gaym can connect well and have no issues at all.
Steps to reproduce
I can provide the credentials, but mind you, you need to have a slow computer though for Gajim to not connect at all.
Software versions
