"too slow" - it would be helpful to describe the situation under which
you start each of the tools and then provide use with values we could
compare. All else is kind of prejudice, at least personal opinion.

And what do you mean with "larger database". That makes only sense if
you mean that there are more apt repositories than yum repositories.
Even if that might be the case - I doubt that - up2date is capable to
use apt sources.
