What about all the programs not "big" enough to go on the list?

Found a patch for this problem:

haha, Installed that one on my main machine, seems to be running faster + much more stable now ;)

Although to be fair, major release updates of ubuntu can sometimes cause a few issues too (but at least these are usually fixable quickly)
