COSMIC Store is coming along quickly, though there is still a lot left to do. It loads nearly instantly, because it uses bitcode to cache appstream data in an optimized format. It uses very little memory compared to the Pop Shop. Searches can be performed live as they are done in parallel. Searching for “e” takes 5.5 ms on my desktop and returns 4601 results.
How is Cosmic’s performance compared to Gnome?
It’s not possible to measure yet. Too many moving parts and a lot of optimizations aren’t finished yet.
