Yes, I saw that there was no fetching of packages in either case, but I threw it into the mix.  It should not matter though, as the OS's are different each with its strengths and weaknessess.  There is no need to promote one over the other.  We use what we have at hand in each OS to do the job.

In the comparison you made clearly, apt was faster than yum, but as long as they do the job, it should not make much of a difference.
