Now you're comparing apples and oranges. I was talking about apt from
Extras, using repomd repositories. You're comparing yum with Debian's
apt with their repos (different number of files and packages; should be
greater, but I don't know if "main" contains all their packages, or is
it something like our "Core").
apt-rpm also has its own repo format which is much faster to download
and parse than repomd. You should check it out :)

I would have conducted an apt-rpm vs yum test, but I'm on x86_64, and
last time I checked, apt has lousy bi-arch support. (Did it improve)
FYI I'm using Debian unstable which has comparable number of packages.

To get comparable results for apt-rpm and yum try to create
your own Rawhide-mirror ! So you can update using apt and/or yum.
My local mirror for my home network is a rpm-apt-server for at least
1 year, because yum/kyum... are definitely not usable on older machines
(<1Ghz, <256MB) whereas apt-get/synaptic are still usable.
The repository creation on the server using the yum-repo-tools after
rsyncing with one of the Rawhide-Servers consumed also too much time.
