Public bug reported:
Affects: ept adept (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Hello,
the subject line could be considered to be rather inflammatory, but this is
somewhat intentional given that a simply checkmark toggle (install/don't
install application) in adept takes longer than 5 seconds (!) on a P3/450 with
256MB.
This is, ahem, friggin' insane. Please stop this bloat.
Startup of adept and general appearance is similarly bloaty.
This is on a very, very optimized setup (hdparm etc.) with an especially
fast -ck kernel (swap prefetching, better scheduler, ...), so it's
doubly painful to have adept still be that slow.
Its memory requirements are also far from modest:
# ps aux|grep adept
yun 4661 1.9 4.7 29844 12288 ? S 22:14 0:39 adept_notifier
root 7040 18.8 25.0 88612 64280 ? S 22:28 3:45
adept_installer -icon adept_installer -miniicon adept_installer -caption
Add/Remove Programs
I'd suggest treating this with a fair dose of oprofile, gprof and/or
kcachegrind to stop the worst excesses.
Despite all this criticism I want to add that I'm very happy that
there's finally a rather simple program installer available that's
usable by mere lazy mortals, too -- keep up this great work!
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
