yum is extremely slow

[Alan E. Davis]

My first few days with FC3 on a dual Opteron x86_64 system.

Yum is excruciatingly slow. Is this normal?

When doing
# yum update
yum grabs most of CPU in doing "Transition Test", the system bogs down, huge
lags.

Perhaps I've screwed things up by updating earlier? However, ever since I
got the machine, yum is very slow.

APT:

I tried to install apt, which is, as always, extremely responsive. But
apt-get offered to remove hundreds of packages, so I gave up on that.

I would appreciate any assistance in getting started on getting packages
into the system.
