Sorry my last post was a bit vague as to the triggers for the bottlenecks. To follow up my last entry: the get_mset() calls are actually made in _get_estimate_nr_apps_and_nr_pkgs which is called from _blocking_perform_search() These are Triggered by _build_homepage_view in

Yes, Ubuntu Software center is horribly slow, inconsistent, hangs, poorly designed and confusing. The add-on section is weird too. If you click Aply changes in the addon section it just goes ahead and starts installing the software without confirmation. Who designed/wrote this stuff and how did
