This is IMHO one of the biggest disadvantages of yum (I'm talking about 
the mirroring). Because of it, every time you execute yum it goes out to 
the internet to get all the xml files of the meta data, while smart does 
it only when the user asks for the channels to be updated.

That's why smart is smart. ;-)
