  apport takes too long to write crash report, appears to lock up phone

Bug description:
  I can trigger a crash easily on my phone via bug 1262711. Other bugs
  are available.

  When that happens my phone appears to freeze. I am unable to do
  anything for approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes. As a user my initial gut
  reaction is to reboot the phone, thus losing the crash report, and
  wasting my time.

  Having the phone lock up for 1.5 minutes is a terrible user
  experience. Can we fix/mitigate/workaround that?
