Title:
  apt compressed indexes seriously slow down synaptic

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  The new update to packages apt, apt-transport-https and apt-utils (v. 0.8.8ubuntu3) seriously slows down the newest synaptic (v. 0.70~pre2ubuntu1).
  Scrolling synaptic is more or less impossible.
  I have a fully upgraded Natty 64-bit setup and a NVidia GTX 285 graphics card.
  I am using latest nvidia-current_260.19.21 driver.

  Downgrading apt packages to the previous version 0.8.8ubuntu2 works
  and all is well.
