I wonder if running "yum update yum*" first would help, before doing the full "yum update"? In my case with CentOS v5.2, I saw yum got updated too, and since then yum works blazingly fast for me. You might want to try it anyway. If it works better after the update, then fine, you're all set for better speeds. FWIW, I had slow speeds pre-5.2 as well.
