I'm talking several minutes, on a 1st gen Nexus 7 with 220+ apps. I can literally go make a sandwich and come back and it'll just about be done refreshing. I figure by next year (if they don't fix this issue), it'll be taking so long I could eat the sandwich too before it finishes. (And it didn't take this long on the old version of the app, so it's not the Nexus.)
Second thing is when I upgraded to the latest app design it renamed my device (looks like it deregistered it and re-registered it on me) and will not let me rename it. I actually had to call support about the issue, and ended up talking to a supervisor. They had me try everything, and it still wouldn't let me rename it, or let them either. She had to file a bug report with the developers and warned me it'd probably be a while before I got a resolution to the issue. Still haven't gotten one, and still can't rename it. There's been at least one update since then too, but it's till not fixed. So if you have multiple devices and need to rename them to keep track of what is what, I suggest you only upgrade one device, or backup the APK and downgrade after getting your credit.

Thanks for mentioning your problems with the Amazon Appstore update. I had a similar thing happen on one of the earlier upgrades. It deregistered my device and somehow I ended up with three devices in my account, even though I really have only two.
For that reason, I haven't updated the app in a long time.
