I take it back, I paused the download and when I unpaused it rocketed up in speed nearly jumping to the heady heights of 2-3MB/s… I should be getting 6 but still.. Happy with this! Thanks for the tip!
Apple should really get this sorted.

Just got a new 9,2 macbook pro 4 days ago. First day, problems with only mac store. Other downloads are perfect and get normal broadband speed. App store downloads running at barely 1MB/s. Dire.
Checked wired and it was the same. Have now even upgraded broadband from 30Mb to 50Mb(speed test confirmed this speed), and app store still about 1MB every 3 seconds.
Deleted cache and amended keychain, for the first few secs it worked, it doubled or tripled the awful speed in app store download but now it has slowed to crawl again….

Support were great but sadly not really much on troubleshooting, they are sending out a new machine which is great if its a bad install of mountain lion or something… but something tells me this wont fix the issue.

Having a faster internet connection will allow apps to download faster.

Lion was running like crap and now the update to ML has an ETA of a 1 day, 6 hours. Appalling service from Apple. I think I will make the effort to get Ubuntu running on my MBP and Apple can stick their AppStore

Yup – deleting the cache worked really well for me
Interested to see if it slows again over time….

Deleting cache, temp files, language files and other useless binary files, create free space for Mac OS and thus helps to operate faster.
Although these tasks can be done manually but not every task. For that one needs to go for speed up tools like Stellar speed up Mac

Wow! I used the first tip and the change was nothing short of dramatic. The store popped up immediately upon the start after I cleared the cache, which is amazing considering how laggy it has been lately.
