Ubuntu Store loads really slowly

[Robin Heroldich]

Nexus4 - OTA-12

Open the Ubuntu Store:

Expected behavior:
it loads in 1-2 seconds

Actual behavior:
it loads in more, than 10 seconds

Choose an app and tap on it in the Store:

Expected behavior:
it loads the app details in 1-2 seconds

Actual behavior:
it loads the app details in more, than 10 seconds

I tested it with a very goods Wi-Fi network, so it is not a network issue.

I guess this is a duplicate of bug #1479359 which is also about a slow loading store.

It's certainly not that slow, even for the first load on my nexus 4. It takes about 3-5 seconds to load here, but we do cache data and prefer the cache, until it expires. While that isn't the 1-2 seconds you declare it should take, it's also not the >10 seconds you're saying either.

I suspect it's not a network speed difference, because the nexus 4 can't use 802.11AC speeds afaict, so it's certainly not using the full 500+Mbps bandwidth I have, and my Nexus 5 and laptop are both much faster, per fast.com (my nexus 4 shows about 1/200 of my actual upstream speed).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
