Same problem here, Ubuntu 13.04, waiting 10-20 seconds on a new machine every 
single start (even consequtive, obviously no caching).
The silly part is that I don't want or am even able to use "Additional 
Drivers", while editing the software sources on a 12.04 LTS system with much 
lower specs (and HDD instead of SSD) right next to this is nice and snappy.

Could we please do the driver detection only when this tab is selected?
I can confidently claim that the vast majority of users spends much more
time in the "Ubuntu Software", "Other Software" and "Updates" tabs than
in the "Additional Drivers", plus  Intel users (afairc the majority) and
those who could but never install additional drivers shouldn't have to
sit there while their machine is wasting cycles without purpose...
