 * installing a bundle through Software Update is quick,
  * installing a bundle through Browse is quick,
  * installing a bundle from Journal using mounted media is quick,
  * installing a bundle through a shell via SSH or on a virtual console is
 quick,
  * installing a bundle through a shell in Terminal using {{{sugar-install-
 bundle}}} is very slow.

 Workaround is to unset SUGAR_PROFILE before running sugar-install-bundle,
 like this:
 {{{
 $ unset SUGAR_PROFILE
 $ sugar-install-bundle bundle-1.xo
 }}}

 During the hang, an strace shows inotify add watch is being called on a
 path of /usr/local/share/sugar/activities but this returns with -ENOENT,
 and the request is retried a short time later.
