Related yum question on (lack of?) speed when large number of
updates to do.
After doing a fresh install, the first yum update can
take (for me) hours - this is after I have pre populated
the local cache (/var/cache/yum) from another just
installed/updated machine - so no downloads
to do at all. The number of updates to be done is of course quite
large at this point.
By breaking this update up into a few separate upates
e.g
yum update x*; yum update kern*; yum update g*; yum udpate
The time taken seems to be very substantially less (human perception
unfortunatly I have no benchmarks).
I wonder if there is some inefficiency with the dependency tree
when the number of updates is large that is reduced by
hand breaking the updates into smaller chunks.
