How can he use Cydia if it’s a chinese fake iPhone? 😛

Just stopped the time again – 23 seconds with 3 extra repos.
You have propably a chinese fake iPhone, they are known for such behavior 😉

I’ve been talking to @chpwn about it. I’ve honestly tried everything I can think of and it turns out I have all default sources right now. It’s still 40 seconds as opposed to 7 seconds for Rock.

I’ll try it on my old 2G later, but I doubt there’s something actually wrong with my phone.

I can say that the new update has made Cydia load much faster actually. On the 3GS it loads much faster than it used to of course.

I have four extra repos by the way.

Maybe there's something wrong with the phone, Thomas?
The speed increase is evident, search on twitter for Cydia and you'll see.

Just checked, i have three extra repos.

Yikes. I wonder what the difference between us is. Is it my one extra repo?it’s not even a seedy one. I got it so that I could get Activator.

The only good thing I can say is now that my iPhone is set up to my liking, I rarely have the need to tweak or d/l anything from cydia. The last thing I added was the VolumeButtonExtender yesterday and before that was when Krikae first came out. Using Cydia regularly just isn’t worth the effort.
