The scrolling parameters are Qt's defaults, but I guess I could try if it can be made better by fine-tuning them.

    -I also noticed that the default app manager can usually enter "uninstall" without delay.
I'll see what can be done about that... Although you don't have to go back to main menu to change between install/upgrade/remove. Just change your status filter accordingly.

The reason the whole list is read even in case of removal is that you can switch from remove mode to install/upgrade with the status filter any time. It might make sense to have an option for "fast remove mode" which does not read the whole lists but has the status filter disabled...
