It seems this bug has been fixed. The time it takes for Zypp to initialize is
an entirely different problem. They use XML files for the packages metadata,
which is not the most appropriate format, as they end up having close the same
structural data in size as the actual information, resulting in long download
and parsing time. I'm sure they will come up with some hacks in the near future
to alleviate the problem. Fortunately, PackageKit is a distro-independent
framework, that is better engineered, and will start replacing the Zypp API for
11.0, so possibly, it could end up replacing Zypp in its entirely in the
future. They are looking for volunteers for this.
