The best would be to umount your supermount /mnt/cdrom, mount it
by hand, before the addmedia; it should speed up much the then
process of extracting package information.
Right, thanks a lot. I guess you mean that urpmi.addmedia uses supermount

Not exactly: urpmi examines if /mnt/cdrom needs to be mounted. In
case of supermount, /mnt/cdrom is seens as always mounted. But
there are performance issues when accessing many files on a
supermounted cdrom so it's useful to umount it and mount it as a
plain normal iso9660 filesystem.

One question though, on the following page:

Actually the contrib CD has never been downloadable as an iso, but as
separate packages in a contrib sub-directory in the distribution
directory (there was one in the 8.2 directory) The question is if it
will be available in the 9.0 directory ?

There is always contrib from cooker.
One can tell which packages have garnered attention recently.
A tally of users reporting success with contrib packages would be useful.

Am I missing something or there was a contrib directory in the 3rd iso of
8.2? It was disguised as RPM4. Now the new isos seem to have just RPM3 on
the third CD. My question is if there will be new isos with RPM3 and RPM4
on the third CD. Or alternatively, if I rebuild the third iso with RPMs
