For those still facing this issue, here is the workaround that I'm using.
It's based on my previous comment:

I've added the command "/usr/bin/unity-scope-loader applications/applications.scope applications/scopes.scope commands.scope" to the auto-start programs, with a delay (30 seconds in my case).
The applications scope used to take 10+ seconds to load for me, now it takes 3-5 seconds.

I've attached a ".desktop" file.
If you want to use this workaround, download the file and move it to "~/.config/autostart".
The command starts after a delay of 20 seconds by default (after login). If you want to change it, open the file with the text editor (open the text editor, then drag the file into the editor) and change the "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay" field.
You may also want to open the auto-start configuration program from the Dash to check if it was really added and is enabled.

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)
