That seems quite excessive to me. How many packages do you install?
My basic xen-vm-installs (on a PIII-500, 96MB RAM, 128MB Swap, text
mode) take roughly half an hour for RHEL5. That's for 500-600 MB of
packages.
This is fedora rawhide. Previous versions work fine. I'm installing
around 1000 packages.
Looks like it's being consumed by packages in /tmp/cache/<repo>/packages
which is a ramfs, hence the consumption of file cache memory.
