Comment 424 for bug 332945

Any one ever consider that the update manager uses a whole bunch of resources. For older systems it renders the rest of the desktop almost useless until its finished loading, and completely locks it up if you were already using a resource intensive app. For me and I suspect some others at least Updates need to be done when the computer is not in use (in other words when I say) so forcing the update manager to start is not only annoying, its potentially damaging. What exactly was wrong with a few kb used for the icon? Why should I suffer because some people have bad computer habits, you ignore notifications you deserve the consequences.
