Title:
  Previews for applications are really slow to display anything

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity-lens-applications package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm seeing rightly on forums and generally the Internet that 100scopes
  previews are slow, combined with the fact that we now have the left
  click showing the preview by default frustrate a lot of users.

  On my beefy machine (i7, 8G of rams), the preview for an application
  takes 3/4s to show, you can't do anything meanwhile as there is no
  button to launch the application (because you didn't double click,
  just left click and thought "argh, I should have double click").

  Because of this, we are making the 1st landing of 100 scopes
  experience bad and we should fix it (at least, in that applicatoin
  lens) by either preloading the software-center-dbus
  (/usr/share/software-center/software-center-dbus) daemon (we can't
  have it always running as it's taking over 100MB of memory) when
  hovering an app lens result, or when it's the first result (so can be
  directly triggered by pressing [Enter])
