[Bug 542336] Re: software centre is memory hog and sometimes becomes unresponsive

[alex]

just installed latest oneiric desktop cd on my atom netbook.
People, big problems with software center:
- is almost unresponsive when installing/unistalling, 
- it has very very slow startup time
- had to reboot to sync it to sources . I've installed the distro  with no internet connection and not even an apt-get updated was sufficient to populate its database.

Overall performance is totally unacceptable, but it works. Do
something..

Title:
  software centre is memory hog and sometimes becomes unresponsive

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  After opening software center I was installing gimp and gnome do from the featured applications, it was behaving too slow, and then the window got frozen, although when i opened the USC again, the selected programs were installed successfully.
  All after a fresh install of ubuntu lucid beta 1 and the only thing i tweaked was the gnome system monitor.
