Hi Jamie, thanks for your report. Indeed, there is no question that Software Center in Oneiric is much slower than that in Natty. Many of these slowdowns were an unintended side effect after we moved to a brand new UI. Don't worry, we are not settling for this, we simply need to optimize things to make them fast again. I can assure you that speeding up Software Center is a top priority of the Software Center team for the Precise cycle. And as we make improvements, we will SRU them as much as possible to Oneiric.
Please check bug 876210 for details as we do this work. I know that that bug mentions startup time specifically, but the performance improvements we will be making span everywhere in the app where things are plain TOO slow. Thanks again!
