The annoying parts for me are that after finding the things I want,
yum repeats the metadata download for every install step and goes out

the rpms.
It used to do that for me, but hasn't for a while.
I run many more copies of Centos than fedora - and there a bad design
lives for 7 years.
It reparses what
it's got, which isn't too quick, but doesn't refetch the data. Perhaps
you want to play with caching tweaks in the yum.conf?
I'm not so concerned about caching on a single machine - I want a set of
machines at the same location to always use the same url by default so a
caching proxy server makes all but the first nearly instant. Centos 3.x
got this right, subsequent versions don't.
