It looks like there are a couple of questions to deal with:
1) yum-presto is in @gnome-desktop and shouldn't be
2) yum-presto is enabled by default
If we don't want (2), then remove it from @gnome-desktop. People who
need/want it can install it using "yum install yum-presto", and it will
start working immediately.
If we do want (2), then we just need to work out how to fix (1). If not
@gnome-desktop (which is probably not where it belongs), then possibly
@base?
FWIW, my opinion on (2) (as the yum-presto maintainer) is that it should
be installed by default, but I'm obviously biased.

IIRC we've already reduced the xz compression level in our rpms from 7
to 2. (See http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2009-09/msg00946.html)
