I have 5 enabled Fedora, Fedora updates, Rpm Fusion, and Rpm Fusion updates

Bitdefender for AV updates

I know Bitdefender, but I have had it installed for a while even though 
it has not found one virus on this machine.

All my old Win 7 backup dvds sure do though

Anyway it was just after this last update on the kernel that thing 
slowed down dramatically with resolving dependants

A plugin that was 25k took 10 minutes to resolve

Really weird
