** Description changed: + [IMPACT] + + Applications lens often loads very slowly, this is partially caused by + doing lots of IO reading from the Software center's databases. + + [TESTCASE] + + There's no easy way to test this, with the fix, apps lens should start + up to 15% faster, but this is hardware specific. Therefore the testing + needs to ensure the applications lens can still be used as it used to + before the fix. + + [Regression potential] + + - Previewing applications doesn't work + - Application rating is not displayed in the previews (or always shows 0 reviews). + + ===================== + Original description: + When the system is starting up and lenses are launched, apps lens spends lots of time doing IO - opening the software center's xapian databases plus the ratings database. Since the ratings filter was removed from apps lens, we now need the ratings database only when creating previews - therefore the ratings database is ideal candidate for lazy initialization (only when a preview is requested), which will improve the bad IO situation.
