Re: Fixing yum performance

A recurring problem I have had for several Fedora releases now is
that
Yum over time becomes slower and slower as more packages are

in my case Yum has now become so slow that it is almost unusable.
Normally, it takes 2-3 minutes just to install a single package. most
of the time, this latency will take place between yum first being
invoked, and the part where I am asked to accept that the packages are
downloaded and installed. It thus seems to be a DB issue.
Is there any way to fix this??
Check if you've installed yum-plugin-local -- it keeps a local copy of
the repo and can take a while to regenerate the db on each run...
