** Description changed:

  Installing debian packages manually via Software Center is too slow.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Double-click a .deb package in Nautilus
  2) Wait for USC to open
  3) Click install when the package details is shown
  
  What should happen:
  The actual install process (starting when user clicks the install button) should be about
  as fast as installing the package in the terminal with sudo dpkg -i [package].
  
  What happens instead:
  On my machine USC is 4-5 times slower than plain dpkg. I used my own game as a test application:
  dpkg -i: 4 secs
  USC: 20 secs (time elapsed since the install button was clicked and password given)
  
  I repeated this several times with similar results.
