having to go out and download the updates from the repos. If all stuff's
already downloaded, it's mostly just disk I/O.
Thanks. It does seem to be an issue of load, but it looks like the
problem is due to the scheduler bug mentioned in the message from Jerry
James. So far kernel 5.6.7 seems ok. (I switched schedulers before
running dnf to install the kernel...)
