the output is just adding a handful of debug information and it outputs
all the times that each of the operations take.
There are no updates pending at present, but I guess that when there
are, I should precede the update with "yum clean <something>." Is there
anything better than "all" from your POV?
You don't need to 'yum clean all' you can just 'yum clean packages'
I did note that rpm took a long time to install a kernel the other
day;
I've favoured using yumdownloader to get the latest kernel, then rpm to
install it.
That makes no sense at all. Seriously, I don't know how exactly you've
determined that running the transaction with rpm is faster but it makes
no sense.
