Why does it run very often on your machine?

In any case, you can speed it up by an order of magnitude by adding
`--nodigest --nosignature`, like this:

$ time rpm -qa > /dev/null
    real	0m1.462s
    user	0m1.390s
    sys 	0m0.042s

$ time rpm --nodigest --nosignature -qa > /dev/null

real	0m0.152s
    user	0m0.094s
    sys 	0m0.058s
