(Get the code!)
The startup speed of Software Center has been improved steadily over the course of the Precise cycle, and especially in recent weeks with the great work of mvo. As of today's release (version 5.1.7), I am measuring on my machine less than a second for the initial window to appear (with spinner as it loads), and the UI is fully ready for use in just over 3 seconds. We will continue to make improvements to startup speed (particularly for the case where a local .deb is being installed), but as this measured improvement is significant in Precise and feels subjectively quite speedy, I will close this bug for the Precise target. Charles, if you or anyone does not agree that it is fast enough to justify closing this, of course please feel free to reopen.
Thanks all!
