Software Sources in Ubuntu 12.10 are slow to start

Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1, Open System Settings
2, Click on Software sources
3, wait quite long time (aprox. 10-15s) to pop up the window of Software sources

When you compare that with other configuration settings, it is painfully slow to start. Once I clicked on the icon multiple times because of no visual feedback and then got many windows at once... :/

This issue started since Quantal (Ubuntu 12.10)

This is similar to bug 1073728 but from a different starting point. Fixing bug 780776 would be one way of fixing this bug.

The same thing happens in Update manager -> you click on the button "Settings" several times (because of no visual response) and then you get multiple windows at the same time. It makes me angry :/
