[maemo-developers] Extras-devel cleanup?

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

Why is the current app manager not as fast ? Maybe we could just add
some changes to it to have a daemon process or a cron that would check
in some intervals when there is data/network connection and update the
cache in the background? Instead of just doing so on-demand while the
user awaits at the UI?
