I just tried the new version and it's definitely much improved although
I have to say I'm still not entirely satisfied. The initial scan still
takes a long time and still slows down my machine incredibly (apt-get
install sysutils took around one minute). This time though the period of
slowness only lasted about 1:15:00 instead of more than a day.

Here's a question though: why can't the initial scan just be scheduled
with cron for the middle of the night or something? (or look at when
updatedb is scheduled for and use that in case a user has changed it)

Basically, I'm concerned because performance still sucks during the
initial scan and while it's faster overall, this is going to be the
user's first impression of gutsy. I think simply delaying the scan will
go a long way.
