For one thing the depsolving algorithm used by yum is slow.
Not so an ordinary human could notice it compared (for example) to the time it takes to rebuild the rpms from the deltas.
That depends on how much stuff you update at once. Try updating 6000 packages (which I just did yesterday and will be doing again on multiple systems after the mass rebuild) and you will notice some delay. It can still be small compared to doing the actual updates, but when you are trying to catch problems (that block lots of the updates) it can be pain to have to wait before seeing what needs to be fixed.
