Wow, You're really talking out of your element. So let's cruise through
some of these:
 1. consuming huge amounts of memory: the 64bit memory doubling/tripling
effect isn't fun. That's true. On 32bit it is just fine, though.

 2. I think you'll need to come up with a good example case for 'being
really slow'.
 
 3. the ctrl-c problem (I assume you're speaking of yum here) is
directly related to rpm, written in C. Not anything to do with python.
