Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
While evaluating boot charts (on armel) I just noticed that starting
chromium entails a two second I/O block where it calls lsb_release
twice. lsb_release is an utterly heavy program, since it invokes Python.
If I eliminate this and hardcode DISTRO and RELEASE, I can halve the
startup time from 2.2 s to just over a second.
I think we should instead source /etc/lsb-release and use $DISTRIB_ID
and $DISTRIB_RELEASE.
** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
