Ok, so this an accounting issue but the fact that you can charge time
elsewhere does not mean very much from POV of a yum _user_.  One
starts yum and waits for it to finish.  That detail that really some
subprocess is busy instead does not make an overall wait shorter.
If yum itself is responsible only for a small fraction of that time
then optimizing it has a negligible overall on its practical use.
