Comment 8 for bug 1073728

Same problem here, Ubuntu 13.04, waiting 10-20 seconds on a new machine every single start (even consequtive, obviously no caching).
The silly part is that I don't want or am even able to use "Additional Drivers", while editing the software sources on a 12.04 LTS system with much lower specs (and HDD instead of SSD) right next to this is nice and snappy.

Could we please do the driver detection only when this tab is selected? I can confidently claim that the vast majority of users spends much more time in the "Ubuntu Software", "Other Software" and "Updates" tabs than in the "Additional Drivers", plus Intel users (afairc the majority) and those who could but never install additional drivers shouldn't have to sit there while their machine is wasting cycles without purpose...
