could well be... the speed should improve on faster hardware, but the resource usage shouldn't change. sounds very much like a grand mess up to me. of course, some things like YUM's insistance on updating its headers EVERY time you run it creates a certain amount of overhead that's completely unecessary. > I'm not saying that the shortcomings of yum should be ignored by increasing > your CPU speed, and throwing more memory in a machine.

I cannot say. seeing as i run urpmi on my P75/32MB RAM firewall on occasion, and have run YAST on fairly lean hardware, i can say that they both smoke YUM. ;-) ditto for apt-get. that said, YAST takes WAAAAAY to long to load package info. they really need to make that asynch and/or use a more efficient binary cache. if juk can load full id3 info for a few thousand songs a second from a binary cache, well ... or maybe i just install software a lot more than most people and so it's a pain that few others feel as much ;-) - -- Aaron J.
