Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11-3 Severity: normal I think it is recent feature for aptitude to search incrementally with key input. This is good feature if we are just putting simple pacckage name to prompt after pressing "/".
But once we place ~d into box, key response get super slow with longer sting in the box. Even with new 2MHz Core2 duo, it can reach unbearably slow level quite easily. Thus I am filing this not us wishlist but normal bug. It seems you implimented this incremental search function to "/" but not to "l". Since incremental search is very CPU intensive, it should be disabled for complicated search. I suggest you disable incremental search when "~" is entered into input search string box. I do not think incremental search is needed in such case.
