Well, I never used apt intensively, but yes, the SMART performance could 
be much better. One option could be to just call rpm instead of using 
python-rpm to perform the installation of packages (like YaST does it ;)).

I would rather like to stick with SMART and get a much testing on SMART as 
possible. Because at the end of the day, we will have a mature package 
manager(tm) then. Let's face it: As long as there is apt, nobody is going 
to use SMART -- and we both know that apt-rpm doesn't have a bright 
future...
