I had bad experience with opensuse.org repo, YaST takes ages to

This was true for 10.2 but the repository handling in 10.3 was improved
a lot!
Yes, that's true, but you just pick out your old modem from the cupboard,
and try updating anything using the modem. Then we talk.

But this problem is completely independent of the time starting YaST takes!
The main repository changes seldomly, see
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/repodata/
It has been never changed since the release of 10.3. Thus, there is no
strong need to activate the automatic refresh in YaST for such a
repository. Consequently, there will not take place any data transfer when
starting YaST, AFAIK.
Maybe... I didn't think of that. However... when you are about to start
the software management module you need to start the network too, even if
it's only to find updates to packages in the dvd. The user doesn't know at
what point is the network going to be needed, so the network (ie, the
modem) would be started at the start - or on demand, if so configured.
And if you configure a repo like packman, things get much worse.
BTW: IIRC, Robert never talked about "slow updates" but had problems after
adding the main repository in the past. Thus, the new subject is somewhat
misleading, IMHO.
Well, yes, my choice was not very fortunate. O:-)
