yum -C list installed gimp
It still wastes a lot of time, although I'm looking at fc6 - maybe it is
better on newer versions:
# time rpm -q gimp
gimp-2.2.17-1.fc6
real 0m0.129s
[root@moola ~]# time yum -C list installed gimp
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Installed Packages
gimp.i386 2:2.2.17-1.fc6 installed
real 0m3.566s
And it gets worse on machines with more repos installed.
