The same thing is happening in the App Store, with download speeds averaging around 256 kilobytes per second. I have tried changing the DNS to both Open DNS and Google Public DNS, and none of them seem to fix the problem. Again, I am having extremely slow download speeds only in Apple applications. If you have automatic updates turned on, you will start to receive these updates today. Otherwise, you can go to the Mac App Store and click the Updates tab, or with Microsoft AutoUpdate, you can go to your Office app’s Help menu and choose Check for Updates.

After the OS X 10.6.7 update was issued, I noticed that the Mac App Store was much slower to respond. The app itself launched quickly, but the majority of the window remained a solid light-gray for a minute or two. Moving the mouse cursor over it revealed a spinning beach-ball. My first thought was that the Mac App Store had somehow crashed and, right-clicking on it’s icon in the Dock showed a “Force Quit” item that seemed to support that thought.

However, if I was patient and waited a minute or two, it started working correctly until I clicked on one of the buttons at the top to move to Update or Categories or, well, you get the point. It then went back to a spinning beach-ball for another few moments. Patience rewarded me with it going back to normal, though it was frustrating trying to just check for updates, let alone trying to look at new apps where the process repeated itself.

A bit of research showed that I wasn’t alone and that many others were experiencing the same thing. Per the suggested fixes, I repaired permissions with Disk Utility, downloaded and reinstalled the 10.6.7 Combo Updater, but the problem remained.

There was one other mentioned “solution” and that is to disable the Certificate Revocation List in Keychain Access’ preferences. I say it’s a “solution” only in that it does let the Mac App Store return to its originally snappy performance, but I’m not a fan of disabling security solely to run an app. So, I’ve written a small Applescript that I launch immediately before running the Mac App Store. It disables the Certificate Revocation List (using the UNIX defaults write command), displays a dialog window that suggests I turn it back on as soon as possible, and presents me with two buttons (“Leave OFF and exit” and “Turn ON and exit”). I then run the Mac App Store, run my updates or look at new apps, exit the Mac App Store, and then go back to the Applescript dialog window and click the “Turn ON and exit” button that re-enables the Certificate Revocation List.

This allows me to use the Mac App Store without the long waits, while turning off the Certificate Revocation List for the shortest amount of time.

The Applescript is below. As always make sure you create a backup of your original com.apple.security.revocation.plist file before you run it the first time, in case you mis-typed the Applescript. Once I created the CRL_off_on.scpt file and verified it worked, I then did a save-as and saved it as an .app to my Desktop to I’d have quick access to it. If you add a comment with your email address, indicating that you’d like a copy of the Applescript, I’ll be glad to email it to you.
