On my PC "echo n |yum update" is now appr. 100% faster when trying
to update 60 pkgs. Larger and more complicated cases or packages with lots of files may gain even more.

I get 4:30 and 19:15, for 63 packages in 114 MB. Better, but not there yet...

BTW:

Can someone explain how the new depsolver works?

Take this example:

* Upgrading glibc from  2.5.90-19 to glibc-2.5.90-17

The diff on output from rpm -ql --provides glibc is:

--- /tmp/old.log        2007-03-20 20:33:58.000000000 +0100
+++ /tmp/new.log        2007-03-20 20:33:45.000000000 +0100

Ok, almost nothing is changed =>
if old glibc is good, then the new glibc is good too, no need to check anything, just
do the upgrade.

However, look at this:

# python yummain.py -d100 -e100 install glibc | tee /tmp/yum.log

# grep -c 'looking at' /tmp/glibc.log
38595

# grep -c 'looking to see what requires' /tmp/glibc.log
20974

60000 checks!

How can this be needed?
