I've had this problem in Precise, in Quantal, and now in Raring, and I've had it on totally four Ubuntu machines in the household. The rest of the Dash is also very slowly populated but the Applications lens loads slower than anything else.
It's been worse in 12.10 than in 12.04 and I had high hopes for 13.04 after playing with the daily builds from USB sticks, but it's not any better now. I think it was quite fast after a clean install but got worse after running through the usual things-to-do-after-installing- Ubuntu guides, which I usually do to get things like Opera, Ubuntu Tweak, restricted extras etc. Maybe Ubuntu is only meant to be snappy on "standard" installations? Lots of people seem to have this problem but so far, I haven't seen a solultion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061852 Title: Unity Application Lens slow to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1061852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
