[Bug 299901] Re: aptitude bash autocompletion is slow in some cases

[Peter Cordes]

Anything that completes on package names is potentially going to be
slow, because esp. on the first run.

some dpkg and apt commands are slow when the binaries and the data they
need all have to get loaded from disk.

Title:
  aptitude bash autocompletion is slow in some cases

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  Intrepid, bash-completion 20060301-4ubuntu1. Sometimes pressing tab to
  complete package name to install takes a couple of secconds, the cpu
  usage is 100% during that time. Unfortunately, I haven't found any
  conditions for which this bug can be reproduced.
