It's taking 7.5 seconds to put the package sack together and it's not
downloading ANYTHING? Not even the mirrorlists again or rechecking the
repomd.xml?

I ask b/c the same version on my not-exceptionally-fast laptop is:

yum -d3 info yum | grep 'time:'
Config time: 0.106
rpmdb time: 0.000
pkgsack time: 0.345
