Does this happen during the metadata parsing? If so, yes, it is quite
resource intensive, especially when you have some large repositories
enabled. There is a C metadata parser that is available from the yum site,
that is much faster and lighter. But it requires yum 2.6.2.

APT is available from the Extras repository, and may be faster on old
hardware.
