I reckon in the past two weeks, my best recollection is before the 1.0 
Gb update that I saw from my logs spent around 90 minutes installing 
stuff. I expect that upgrade brought me to beta1.

I know. My original question was to see from when I should see improved 
performance. You are asking questions I'm not ready to answer, but if 
you have advice on how to collect better information for the future I'm 
all ears.

Okay, the problem I saw probably still exists. How does one get useful 
information logged so that it retrieved after the event?

So far I've not thought of anything better than piping it through tee, 
but I don't know whether that prevents my seeing yum's prompt.
