Does this happen during the metadata parsing? If so, yes, it is quite

that is much faster and lighter. But it requires yum 2.6.2.
Yes Daniel, it happens especially during the metadata parsing. The
trouble is yum is in version 2.4.3.
The C metadata parser sounds great. I'll try it in future Yum versions.
I'm not a developer but anybody knows that C is great language in
terms of performance.
¿Is Yum written totally in Python or I'm wrong?

Yum's written in python. python23 in fact. Which is a bummer because
we have
this groovy version of python24 we use for our applications and we broke
yum
installing it and the libxml2 stuff. We actually recompiled yum 2.6.1
and everything
it needs to run under our version of python24. The only message we
haven't bothered
to straighten out yet is:
Warning, could not load sqlite, falling back to pickle
2.6.1
Which yields a bit of a performance degradation when installing
packages. But we did
get yum upgraded and running after about a day of satisfying
dependencies, a few patches,
and plenty of 'rpmbuild -ba blahblah.spec'.
