It downloads the RPM headers for packages which are not yet installed on your system, skipping those you already have. The more packages you installed the lesser headers it will download. It is actually just like running
# apt-get update on Debian. You will only need this once, as further yum runs will only download new headers. I am not sure if there is any speed up possible, if I remember right, Fedora Core already employs zlib compressed headers. Daniel S.
