I don't know, I'm an openSUSE user since 10.3. But I can tell that
Zypper is much faster than Yum which I've been using on Fedora.

Local index files are in /var/cache/zypper.db?

Crap, here's what Yast says: "Accessing the Package Management Failed,
Another process is accessing the package database", but Zypper works
just fine, and it finds a file in 35 seconds, which is quite fast. I
don't know how did I manage to lock Yast's Package Manament.

I think it's a bit faster when I removed zypper.db and ran zypper
refresh.
