It's actually a blocking issue (waiting 30 seconds to load software center on a netbook is something we can't ignore), software center feels like the slowest application shipping in ubuntu, even slower than openoffice.
I guess part of this issue is the choice of python as the language, but of course, I'm not proposing a rewrite. Maybe we could make the software center a bit more modular, like it loads modules only when needed. For example: there's no reason to load the whole software center if you're double clicking a deb downloaded from the web (skype, adobeair, dropbox whatever), you could just provide a small window with app name and description, so it will be lighter to load (then provide a button to load the whole software center with sidebars and whatever). -- Ubuntu Software Center is very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641899 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
