AFAIK yum is coded in python, and APT is part c and maybe some perl?

They're just different programs, and yum lag is to be expected as it
is maturing at the moment while APT has been out for a long time.

yum has quite a bit of features that APT doesn't and vice versa..

As far as a rpm-based distro though I'd stick with yum.
