Description

From #160

ikhal seems to re-scan the whole calendar (or do some other inappropriate task) when saving an event. This freezes the whole UI.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze when saving an event in ikhal and compare the save path with the behavior described in issue #160. Trace whether saving rescans the whole calendar or performs another blocking task; done means event saving no longer freezes the UI.
