Bug Description
Cataloged_times is simply a Python dictionary object. Other serialisation methods are
faster than pickle at handling simple data types like this. On my low powered atom Netbook
this file takes 1.4 seconds to load. When I use the same data with the msgpack python module
it takes only 0.1 seconds. Also the filesize is reduced from 3.1MB to 1.7MB.
This would help with the slow startup times in software-center as it loads in this pickle file: https:/
My proposal is that the pickle serialisation in cataloged_times.py be replaced with the offerings
from the msgpack module. I have submitted a patch upstream.
