Feel free to back up the above with some numbers, please. Yum shouldn't
spend anytime 'mucking around the rpm database'. If you can find a place
where it is please let us know in a bug report.
If you want to run yum w/o having it access remote locations then do
what james said, set your metadata expiration to -1 so it never expires
and use that.
