Public bug reported:
As I make regular use of software-properties (e.g. having to remove the
annoying 'disabled on upgrade to x' appendage that Canonical seems to
deem vital, from what's got to be going on 100 PPAs), I've noticed that
from the outset the UI is slow to respond to user input. Re-enabling a
repository typically involved a noticable delay (perhaps a few hundred
milliseconds) between ticking the checkbox and seeing the repository
enabled, during which time the whole software-properties UI is frozen.
Presumably it's not just an unresponsive UI and the backend is churning
away, doing it's thing. However, does it have to take so long? it really
slows down progress when you're re-enabling/disabling a lot of
repositories in one go. If the delay is unavoidable, would it not be
possible to implement a batch enable/disable option, or else have
software-properties make the actual changes when it closes rather than
in-situ (admittedly not perfect).
