Nothing to do with files that are "running", there's simply more files
on the disc that might be checked upon when you're updating files
through RPM (think: dependencies).  Kernel packages involve quite a lot
of files, so it becomes quite noticeable.  Even more so if you have the
docs and devels installed, too.
