yum is somewhat slow on VIA C3 processor based boxes - ie I have an EPIA with C3 800Mhz here. Installing a package can take 10-15 minutes in the dependency resolution stage (I have a few repositories in the list but not a huge number). If theres something I can do to help trace the problem let me know. If it helps, I had some perl scripts which ran horribly slow on this box in perl. Adding use integer; use bytes; made a huge difference (use bytes turns off the UTF-8 string handling and I think its that which has a serious effect on speed).
