Just a quick update on this. After several weeks of really really slow
interaction with RHN on this past Friday all of a sudden things were
pretty spiffy. Logging in now is taking less than a minute and most
subsequent interaction is measured in seconds rather than minutes. I
have no idea what changed, but my campers are much happier now.
