Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
On Jaunty Alpha 5, The partition editor step takes too much time to show/load, I'm not sure how much time it took but definitely more than 5 minutes, I had 3 HDDs attached each with a total of 14 partitions or so.
The problem is that 5 minutes is too much to wait in-front of a non-responsing application, I had to leave the computer and do something else then came back later, I see this as a major disappointment for a new user.
Same goes for undoing changes inside the partition editor, it takes too much time to undo, probably re-scans the changed partitions only but still, takes a 2-3 minutes.

I can also confirm this on alpha 6 Desktop CD, it takes 153 seconds to scan initially (after selecting keyboard) and then another 80 seconds (after selecting manual partitioning).
The attached partman log has timestamps prepended.
