I still don't understand why searching (including descriptions) should take more than a couple seconds.
cat /var/lib/apt/lists/* | grep vt100 finishes in under half a second, while synaptic's find for the same thing takes 7-8 seconds, and is unresponsive (update garbage under metacity, greyed out in compiz) during that time. Granted, part of that time is spent handling case insensitivity, and finding the package name, but even taking that into account I can still get <2 seconds for a fairly naive sequential search, getting the same results for every query I tried. And I think it's fair that I get to use the cache, seeing as synaptic seems to be holding this in memory (i.e., 7 seconds is the wall time for a search after I've run the same search several times). The Add/Remove dialog is much more in line with what I'd expect, taking around 2 seconds to perform a search. -- version 0.57 searches both for names and contents by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
