I decided to clean up some old crud.
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.1 kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel-2.6.8-1.521 kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2 kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2
I was watching this with top(1).
This command took six minutes to complete, with rpm taking up 100% CPU for six minutes straight.
Yes, these are large packages that are being removed. No, even with all that, taking six minutes, a dual Opteron box, with SCSI RAID, is unreasonable.
