rpmtools has been changed :-) some abusive memory leaks where inside thus causing a lot of memory to be wasted (so a 32MB machine will use swap much faster) according to number of media defined. Another bug in rpmtools (I will call it a workaround of rpmlib) was fixed some time ago (a month ?) which wait for data to be available on a stream before calling rpmlib parsing library (instead of letting rpmlib doing it which seems not correctly done, a timeout is used (set to 1 second but almost never above 0.05 second).
