To comment 10: Just to be clear, I DON'T like to receive complaints like these in my inbox. That's just useless noise. If I was a developer, I would have solved your bug immediately just because I love to contribute my time to improve others' life. I want this fixed as much as you do. And, just FYI

I am surprised to hear about this after all this time. It's been 16 months. I have given up on Ubuntu. This bug was just one indicator of what's wrong. I have no interest in the social networking / smart phone integration that seems to be your focus. If I do anything more it will be with MINT or

I'm seeing that the entire Software Center's window loads all at once. To me this says that rather than putting an emphasis on usability, there is an emphasis on completeness before displaying anything to the user.That was important back in the days of textual interfaces and smaller application

The startup speed of Software Center has been improved steadily over the course of the Precise cycle, and especially in recent weeks with the great work of mvo. As of today's release (version 5.1.7), I am measuring on my machine less than a second for the initial window to appear (with spinner as i

Hmmm, I''m not seeing any of these improvements nor anywhere near the times mentioned. I'm on Oneiric and have proposed enabled, software- center is version: 5.0.2ubuntu0.1. software-center --measure-startup-time gives: 47.1813759804 seconds which is in my eyes unacceptably long. My specs: CPU:

Hi Chrles. The Software Center devs have just returned from the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando and we have identified the work that we plan to do this cycle. Performance (and in particular, startup performance), is at the top of the priority list for improvement in Precise (and for SRU into One

Hi again, Charles. Nah, it's nothing so dramatic as all that. We had a major rewrite of the Software Center user interface for Oneric, and since this occurred quite late in the development cycle we had very little opportunity to do performance optimizations before release. The very slow startup was

Thank you for your kind letter. I am not concerned with the performance of this package. I have decided it is part of the "make Linux more usable by non-computer people" endeavor. That is probably a good and noble cause and I have no complaint abou that. However, I have just gotten accustomed to th

Hi Charles, and thanks for your bug report. Indeed, the startup time for Software Center has regressed significantly with the change to the new user interface in Oneiric. Rest assured that the developers are well aware of this issue and it annoys them as much as it does you. ;) This is in fact the
