I think, in terms of impact on usability, I would rate the performance issues above as follows (from highest impact to lowest):
2. Startup speed. 1. Speed opening deb file 5. Slowness in browsing interface. 3. Interface unresponsive while installing (there is no 4) ;) Of these, in my experience numbers 2 and 5 have been addressed quite satisfactorily in Natty. Number 1 is targeted for fixing in Oneiric. That leaves number 3, which for my case is only a problem when installing many items at once. Nevertheless, it is certainly worth considering for improvement as well. If anyone has a different experience or disagrees with what I've found, please report here.
