Even after initial startup, each time the user reveals Slingshot it issues... gosh, 38 disk lookups via stat() syscalls! Such amount of random disk reads creates a noticeable delay on HDDs, although it goes unnoticed on e.g. LiveUSBs which have no seek time.

Please find attached a list of directories on which the stat() syscalls are performed. They should be replaced with inotify watches.
