Thanks a lot for your patch.

Could you please redo it with diff -u (or bzr diff) ? Or can you mail me the files that you modified and I will do the diff myself. The changes sound very interessting!

Synaptic package manager is really slow application,
I wrote path which solves several problems like:
- slow search in descriptions and maintainers
- slow sub view change
- slow first instalation "Reading database..."

I've added:

  • background preload after openCache:

    -preload maintainers and descriptions (sort orders on file and offset) (time 900ms; 300ms if not first run)
    -preload /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list files needed by dpkg (time 10s with nice -19; 300ms if not first run)

    Gain:
        -first search "name and description" (time from 12s to 200ms)
        -first "Reading database...": few times faster
        

  • remove unnecessary refreshView after subview list click

    Gain: click on static subview list loads package list immediately (not after 300ms-400ms)


I did not really test my code (various environments etc).

My changes are in path, I've worked on synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu7 sources.
