Would it be possible/feasible to change the messages presented in Software Updater to read "Getting update list..." while fetching the info then change to "Parsing medadata..." and finally "Incorporating medadata..." before is shows whether there are updates? This would at lease show that it is doing something. On slower hardware you cannot tell if it has hung or just simply taking an enormous amount of time.
