Yep, with Nokia, Ovi, extras and CSSU thumb/testing repos enabled, it is perfectly useble (albeit a bit slow)

So far, the only issue I have is perhaps nothing to do with this version of HAM: if I start HAM and then go to catalogues, it takes a while with the spinning circle for the repos to appear. Is there that much to parse?
Actually yes. But it is not the reason for HAM being *that* slow, it is just that code was (and still is in some parts), not only unoptimized, but like someone wanted to make it slow on purpose.

My reservations about this is I had trouble seeing / editing the repos in the old HAM unless I went into and exited from uninstall whereupon they appeared (see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...66&postcount=8).
Sorry, can't parse that one - do you say that you can't edit the catalogs unless you enter->exit Uninstall with that version?


Anyway, I will appreciate if you (and the others) do an extensive testing of what's done so far. I think I can squeeze more performance, but don't want to make lots of changes at once - if those so far appear to not bring problems, I will fire oprofile against apt-worker and UI again.
