I'll been putting up with very slow dnf update for a while. strace showed that it was reading /var/lib/rpm/Packages 4KiB at a time. My /var/lib/rpm/Packages is 118MiB so that takes a while on a hard disk around 60s.
My desktop is i7 4GHz CPU 16GiB of ram. Unless there is a way to configure DNF to use bigger reads this hack speeds it up. # cat /var/lib/rpm/* > /dev/null; dnf update --refresh After the cat of the files Packages will be in kernel buffers and then dnf runs in 1s-2s. Do you want a bug report on this issue?
