Yast, in my experience, is only slow if you've added lots of repositories and told Yast to update them every time it starts up. I just turn off update for repositories I'm not using and Yast speeds up a lot in startup time. I certainly agree about zen...it's very slow. I suspect it's because there are fewer zen repositories and consequently they're getting hit harder and have less bandwidth available, but this is pure speculation on my part. I certainly did'nt ask for zen, don't want it now, but am stuck with it.
