Ubuntu Software Center is slow to open

[Jeb E.]

Even on the newest systems I've tested Ubuntu 13.04 and 12.04.3 on, the Software Center always seems to be one of the few apps to take the longest to load. This is unacceptable, as the Ubuntu Software Center is a main feature and dealbreaker with Ubuntu users, but having such a slow application on by default degrades the quality of the software in the general publics' and Ubuntu users' eyes of Ubuntu, thus can lead to a loss in Ubuntu users or a slower-than-"normal" addition of new users to the Ubuntu fanbase.

Please fix this problem, it's simply ridiculous, once more, for the Software Center to take that long to load.
