I agree. yum is unacceptably slow. It's not really yum, but, going back to
my earlier point, it's rpm's inherent design.

You need to run this down. You have something going on that needs to be
fixed. I have had no issues with yum update on FC 6 x86_64.
Of course, after I upgraded from FC 4 to FC 6 (which took maybe 2 hours max
on my x86_64 server), I carefully went through the aftermath, and carefully
uninstalled all i386 junk, and gingerly repaired the damage due to rpm bugs
I was aware of beforehand -- which manifest themselves when you remove
multilib packages.
After I stabilized FC 6 x86_64 to a good state, I never had yum update fail
going forward from that point on.
