Public bug reported:
When logging in in a new session or after some time of usage, the aptd daemon
(and the update-manager too, presumably) will start to scan for updates.
The processes involved in this steps are usually running with full priority (or
with nice values higher than 20? I wasn't able to catch it...), and this can
make the system extremely slow, or even unusable on netbooks.
If possible, having these processes running at lower priority (even if
only for the scanning process) would help a lot and could make the
difference in systems with low performances.
