This is still a problem in 14.04.
It takes a long time for the applications to appear in the dash, when it should
be instantaneous.
I have noticed that, after login, if I open the Alt+F2 scope (commands scope?),
it seem that the applications/commands appear faster there.
After that, opening the Dash with the Super key is fast.
According to "ps aux", the command that is executed when the Alt+F2 scope is
opened appears to be:
/usr/bin/unity-scope-loader applications/applications.scope
applications/scopes.scope commands.scope
If I execute this command in a terminal after login, then wait some seconds and
open the Dash, the applications show a lot faster (under 2 seconds if the hard
drive is not busy).
So, a workaround could be to add that command to the startup applications.
I'm using this now (I added a delay of 30 seconds), and it seems to work.
It crashed after the first reboot, though, but it didn't happen again.
As said in #8, I think the applications lens (and the other local ones?)
should be preloaded at startup (in a way that doesn't slow down the
boot/login process).
