The main reason would be that for most of the commands, yum decides for

Feel free to back up the above with some numbers, please. Yum shouldn't
spend anytime 'mucking around the rpm database'. If you can find a place
where it is please let us know in a bug report.
I'd already posted that, but .129s real time for rpm vs. 3.566s for yum
to show an installed program version. Most of the time seemed to be in
the 'loading modules' phase.
If you want to run yum w/o having it access remote locations then do
what james said, set your metadata expiration to -1 so it never expires
and use that.
I don't want it to 'never' access repos, just not in the middle of
several queries that would be faster without having to load and
initialize each time. And I especially don't want to have to make
non-default settings on every machine to make it behave reasonably.
