no, but what should I do in this situation? I've not got the time to
spend on seeing if there is any place for optimization of the test
transaction in rpm. Not right now, at least. When I get the 'build all
fedora extras' stuff off my plate and summer hits I hope to have some
time to profile the heck out of yum. You wanna work on the rpm
transaction test and figuring out how to make it faster, easier, capable
of more interactivity/callbacks.

That'd be cool. If you do - go to rpm-devel list or rpm-python list or
heck, even yum-devel - but fedora-test-list is probably not the best
place for that discussion.
