Bug Description

The search for installed apps is in the order of a handful milliseconds even on slow devices since we're querying an in-memory Xapian index. Despite this the Unity UI appears very slow.

The reason why the Unity UI appears slow is because we search for the Available apps as well, which is a lot slower. This causes our DeeSharedModel to queue up all rows for both Installed and Available apps before sending it to the peers. If we use the method dee_shared_model_flush_revision_queue() from lp:dee trunk we can force the rows for the Installed group to be send before we start working on the Available ones. This will result in a big apparent speedup to the user.
