Thanks Peter - that was the ticket I was trying to find the other day.  

Mike - that was the bit on the IRC where I was clumsily trying to say "more 
complex than yum/rpm/ blah blah transaction changes".

Bug #3156: batchable yum and RPM transactions should be batched
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3156

Author: Michael DeHaan
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: package
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: performance yum rpm redhat fedora centos
Branch: 


For users mantaining systems with a lot of managed packages (such as desktop 
configurations), puppet runs can approach 30 minutes plus.

Most of this is due to yum being slow if run multiple times, and it is 
desirable to batch all yum invocations into single yum commands as much as 
possible.

It has been suggested that this also be done for rpmquery so as to not repeat 
it.

We should be able to walk the graph and move the yum/RPM opeartions together in 
a batchable way, and this would help tremendously with run time on 
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.

(May offer similar savings WRT up2date, though IMHO yum on RHEL4 is a desirable 
practice if you are not a Satellite user.)
