Hi, On my 6 months ago state of the art computer "Finding packages to upgrade" takes for ever. This needs a progress bar (IMHO) Also since it took that long I wanted to read the release notes, but the GUI didn't respond, so it also needs something to kick the event loop a couple of times a second. (This might be so in other places too) I know we are way too far in the beta cycle, so I'll resolv->deferred and close this right away :) Then it is atleast in the records.
Took the really slow part out of this process instead.
