Description
hrev52295+70+dirty.
Switched to beta1 for testing purposes using:
pkgman add https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/r1beta1/$(getarch)/current
and I'm experiencing an extremely slow package list population in HaikuDepot. 20 packages per second. Also decorations (icons, images) don't show up. Created a separate issue about it https://github.com/aplgithub/haikudepotserver/issues/153

I have a bit different stats in VMware Fusion with 2 cpu's:
5 seconds with English locale, 110 seconds with Russian.

I am checking this with a test instance of HDS running locally with the following locales;
- English
- German
- Russian
The time from HaikuDepot launch through to completed display of the main window seems to be the same for me across all three locales?

Well, the word "completed" may be a bit ambiguous in this case. Pay attention to the small package counter on the left hand side. During my testing, it was way slower to finish counting the packages when using Russian locale instead of English.

The problem actually (mostly) seems to be with this little text field because it is constantly rendering the value and figuring out the plurals which I had previously learnt from Diver are more complex in Russian language than is the case in English.
`
static BStringFormat format(B_TRANSLATE("{0, plural, "
"one{# item} other{# items}}"));
`
I can see that this can be sped-up by avoiding deriving this string many times; at least a couple of times for getting the size of the BView and once for rendering the text. This is achieved by not allowing the field to be dynamic, but by pre-choosing a 'sensible' upper limit to the count of packages for this label and fixing the size of the field. This is proabably acceptable for now and the speed seems to be quite a bit better. It will be good to hear how this goes for you.
An even better solution would be to delay the rendering of the label and to update it every second. However this is a bigger change.

Patch set 1 in Gerrit fixes the problem with Russian for me (gcc2h, master).

Assign tickets with status=closed and resolution=fixed within the R1/beta2 development window to the R1/beta2 Milestone
No network interface present, HaikuDepot working purely with cached data. Outputs from 'profile -f -i 100 HaikuDepot' attached.
Populating the list takes 3 seconds with English locale, 30 seconds with Russian.
