** Description changed: - [IMPACT] + [Impact] Applications lens often loads very slowly, this is partially caused by doing lots of IO reading from the Software center's databases. - [TESTCASE] + [Test Case] There's no easy way to test this, with the fix, apps lens should start up to 15% faster, but this is hardware specific. Therefore the testing needs to ensure the applications lens can still be used as it used to before the fix. [Regression potential] - Previewing applications doesn't work - Application rating is not displayed in the previews (or always shows 0 reviews). ===================== Original description: When the system is starting up and lenses are launched, apps lens spends lots of time doing IO - opening the software center's xapian databases plus the ratings database. Since the ratings filter was removed from apps lens, we now need the ratings database only when creating previews - therefore the ratings database is ideal candidate for lazy initialization (only when a preview is requested), which will improve the bad IO situation.
