I have this same problem. It is painfully slow and will occasionally crash after an upgrade.
It loads slow. Packages take too long to mark. The finding and selecting dependencies takes a while. Search seemingly takes forever. It crashed occasionally, seemingly when updating after an upgrade. It is considerably slower than it was in Dapper. It hurts to use it. -- Synaptic too slow https://launchpad.net/bugs/63171 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
