That makes no sense at all. Seriously, I don't know how exactly you've
determined that running the transaction with rpm is faster but it makes
no sense.
Speed wasn't the concern.
I had a kernel bug, and was anxious to test the latest. Yum, despite my
configuration, insisted on deleting the only working kernel. Someone
said that there was a yum bug and that a fix was forthcoming, so I
simply ran yumdownloader regularly and then rpm to install the kernel.
And just in case, I removed a working kernel from the rpm database.
Speed was completely unimportant, though not downloading lots of stuff I
didn't want, by not doing an regular yum upgrade didn't bother me at
all. Makes good sense to me.
