And it's actually a very good section, talking about how it determines how many threads to use. Now that we've established that, what about the problem with running deltarpm on ARM or Atom based machines? Looking at the man page, it might not even be a problem with the CPU, but the IO of the machine. Almost all the machines in my tiny sever rack are running off slow disks, USB, or SD cards. All that being said, what is the criteria for getting a default configuration line put into yum.conf? I'd really like to get the deltarpm= line put in there.
