Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-main-menu
My machine, which is running Edgy, is an older one with a slow processor
and little physical RAM (though I have lots of swap). When I click on
the more applications button, the window takes anywhere between 10-25
seconds to appear and become fully functional (sometimes it appears, but
the contents haven't yet been drawn). This delay seems to be caused by
the overhead of launching a separate, high-overhead process.
In my opinion, the delay should be no longer than 1 second, and whatever
measures necessary to avoid such a delay (using a single process,
keeping the application browser in memory, etc.) should be taken. The
application browser is in effect a menu, and should be just as easily
accessible--especially since there's no other way to access programs not
in the favorites list through gnome-main-menu.
I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right place. I installed the
package gnome-main-menu, not slab (which doesn't exist in the edgy
repos). I followed a link here from the Launchpad entry for gnome-main-
menu.
** Affects: slab (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
