@David, in reference to your comment #5 that is based on Software Center in Maverick, I expect that at least some of these issues should now be fixed in Natty. I'd like to try to identify those issues that remain and prioritize them so that we can address as many as we can for Oneiric.

I think issue 2, referring to startup speed, should be much improved in Natty over Maverick, as evidenced by the startup time measurement graph that we used to track this over the Natty cycle:

Issue 1, the speed when opening a .deb file is a remaining known issue and we are targeting that in the Software Center UI Enhancements blueprint for Oneiric.

I think browsing in general should also be improved (issue 5), please let us know if that is not the case for you.

Finally, it would be helpful to know some details about the hardware you are using so we can compare to our reference hardware (a Dell Mini 9 netbook).

Thank you very much for your help!
