Comment 4 for bug 605048

Whatever it is, it involves stat()ing for 'app-install-data.mo' a quarter of a million times, so that file must be *really* important:

  $ time sudo strace update-software-center 2>&1 | grep -c '^stat64.*app-install-data.mo'
  271169

  real 2m1.576s
  user 1m9.032s
  sys 0m49.031s
