I don't know if the problem is dnf or a library, but it is a serious problem.
There are several issues here:
- Different servers will transmit repository metadata at different speeds
and you need to factor these out when trying to find bottleneck in the
client-side code.
- dnf handles more stuff than apt. For instance, perl packages have virtual
provides in the form of 'perl($MODULE)' for every perl module in the
package. This allows users to install a given module without caring
what package it is in. Last I checked, apt had no equivalent.
