I noticed this as well, although I did not quantify it so precisely.  
AGPS did nothing for me initially. but now helps considerably in 
acquisition times *usually - it's much better than previous gps 
functionality, but I would love to see a more open interface 
specification at the very least.  Have the dbus documents been updated?  
If there is a way to interface to supld over dbus, then it really 
becomes the responsibility of the other software pieces to integrate 
using that (should they want to) - I just haven't yet had time to look 
into this.
