It's not really based on number of repositories - its just a sheer number of packages. Since most repositories don't have much more than a thousand or so packages you need more packages per repo. thousands and thousands of packages will eat time. You have to traverse them to find a resolution. I'm open to suggestions for how to not traverse the packages. -sv
