Yum has constantly got improvements in speed over almost every release. 
Learn to use yum -C <operations> if you want it to run from cache on 
occasions. Also the version in the Fedora development tree has a timeout 
value set to 1800 seconds by default to avoid refreshing the cache on 
subsequent operations which makes a pretty major difference.
