Any idea how much of the i586 transaction time is swapping?

Really? I doubt your claim. At least I am not aware of any activities in
RH's rpm to change rpm's payload rsp. to perform measurements on the
impact of using modern compressors on rpm-payloads.
well one of the memory intensive portions of the transaction is being
worked on. The file fingerprinting. Additionally, Panu noticed an issue
when you test a transaction then turn around and run that transaction.
For odd reasons the memory size gets much bigger.
