[Bug 525674] Re: apt-check hangs, preventing login via SSH

[RichardNeill]

Interestingly, 14.04 seems to be much better at this than 12.04, takling around 1.5 sec rather than 12.
However, it's interesting how much faster it can still be without this. 

Here is a measurement I made.  This is 14.04 server on the LAN, with ssh-key authentication, and I repeated serveral times:
   time  ssh server_on_lan true

With the /etc/update-motd.d/*  files unaltered, this takes ~ 1.13 sec
After chmod -x, this takes  ~ 0.15 sec.

I hope that helps,
