It seems to a very natural thing for users to do. I did the same when testing the solv command as well. It seemed slow in the earlier versions that were posted and I confirmed it was by comparing a similar operation with yum and now it has improved and I demonstrated that to myself, again by comparing it with yum. If others are doing it wrong, then there *is* a clear and direct way to demonstrate performance. Yum developers can do the performance benchmarking between different dep resolves (yum, apt-rpm, smart and now solv) and publish it in the way that is considered fair. Obviously, yum's performance and general behaviour (for example, yum search) has improved drastically but it would be useful to get a good comparison between these programs.
