@Jamie: As Matthew and Gary pointed out, there is already some work in progress on each front. Specifically, if you are focusing on the Software Center startup time, the developers are already aware of that (see bug #876210). (A new version of Software Center will be made available as soon as it is improved).
I had a look at that report and it seems fairly complete. If you want to focus on other issues, please write them here, otherwise I'll consider this report a duplicate. (Sorry if I may seem a bit harsh - it is not intended). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883752 Title: Software Centre is the most horrible, bloated and slow application I have ever used.
