Mageia 4 - update delay

[Shlomo Solomon]

I tried running ps -A before clicking, a few times during the 4 minute
wait and after the GUI started. I then used diff to compare. The only
change I found during the wait was an additional kworker/2:0 (there
were already over 20 kworker processes running). Could this be
significant? I haven't yet run strace as you suggested.

When the GUI started, I found a MageiaUpdate process and an additional
drakrpm-update process (for a total of 2). I assume the first one is
responsible for the periodic check if new updates are available.
