This has been a major problem for me in 13.10.

I managed to solve it by turning off the record search activity option
under provacy settings. It seems that the circling icon next to the
magnifying glass is the process recording, or calling, previous
searches.

If i turn if off (dash --> Security and privacy --> Files and
applications --- Turn off:  'Record file and application usage'), my
applications come up really quickly in the dash.

Title:
  Unity Application Lens slow to load

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  WHAT HAPPENS
  ----------------------
  Log into the system
  Launch the dash with the 'window' key
  Start typing 'chr'...

  I see my files appearing in the search results
  The application lens results appear ~10 - 15 seconds later

  WHAT IS DESIRABLE
  ---------------------------
  The application lens results appear immediately

  
  Most users would login into the system and launch a web browser
  Optimal unity experience demands that their browser or mail client shows up in the dash instantaneously

  Also this behaviour has worsened recently (after upgrade to 12.04)
