[Bug 613743] Re: update-manager cpu-bound for a long time opening

[Daniel J Blueman]

Oops - sorry for the marking with the wrong status.

With the recent update to libcairo for slow progress bar drawing, the
number of progress bar updates is still needlessly high, making update-
manager slow opening over a TCP socket, so this bug is still valid.

The patch changes a value (100) that was arbitrarily selected
previously, so is not changing behaviour in any other way - other ways
were evaluated, and this is the minimal change.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: python-apt

When opening update-manager on a linux system with poor X acceleration, eg with the Nouveau driver or the Radeon driver on newer hardware or power saving enabled, Xorg consumes 100% processor time, and update-manager can take (literally) 1-2 minutes to open.
