Unsure why it's being slow for you but it's not as slow here on a 6 years old i5 with rotational disk, maybe apt was updating in background at the time or something?

This feels incredibly slow. I timed it on my laptop and recorded it here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxvn_RyJ46o I had nothing else running. Laptop is an i7 with 8GB RAM and SSD for storage. I would expect G-S to launch a lot quicker on this setup. Especially given launch speed was one of the reasons users were given as to why we switched away from the previous Ubuntu Software Center to G-S in the first place.
