[Bug 883752] Re: Software Centre is the most horrible, bloated and slow application I have ever used.

[Gary Lasker]

Hi Jamie, thanks for your report. Indeed, there is no question that
Software Center in Oneiric is much slower than that in Natty. Many of
these slowdowns were an unintended side effect after we moved to a brand
new UI. Don't worry, we are not settling for this, we simply need to
optimize things to make them fast again. I can assure you that speeding
up Software Center is a top priority of the Software Center team for the
Precise cycle. And as we make improvements, we will SRU them as much as
possible to Oneiric.

Please check bug 876210 for details as we do this work. I know that that
bug mentions startup time specifically, but the performance improvements
we will be making span everywhere in the app where things are plain TOO
slow.

Thanks again!
Gary
