PackageKit and dnf keep separate metadata in /var/cache and they

also noticed it trigger an update when I switch networks. And dnf is
on a timer. Either of them can use a lot of cpu, it just depends on
how much updating they need.
Well, this raises the question of just whether packagekit is something
everyone needs in the first place. I manage my systems with dnf and
have never once opened the Gnome software manager thingie. Googling
around, I find:

What's the benefit of letting packagekit chew up CPU here, even if I
implement the limits Chris suggests?
