I remember that as yum finishes, it triggers PackageKit to try to check for updates. This means it has to find and retrieve the small repo current info files from a mirror, for all the repos you have available. It can take a little while, when there is slow mirrors etc. Would it make sense for this triggering of PackageKit check to be held of for say 5 minutes after the end of a yum command, so that the user finds an immediately responsive yum sub-system ?
