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.
Im very happy with how responsive its being in general. Discover and gnome's store are actually really sluggish to use when scrolling through in low end hardware and this app is smooth as silk.
even Fdroid stores on my phone are slower.
