So it looks like when clicking a place entry in the launcher, or when clicking the ubuntu button in the panel, the executable for the dash (/usr/bin/unity-2d-places) is started instantly, yet in both cases the actual dash takes ~25 seconds to appear on screen.

However if unity-2d-places is previously started from a terminal, invoking the dash shows it almost immediatly. It looks like the issue is with the D-Bus interface of the dash: the issue can be reproduced by making sure unity-2d-places in not running and invoking the following command:

    qdbus com.canonical.Unity2d.Dash /Dash com.canonical.Unity2d.Dash.activateHome
