How does deb handle this? do they just have fewer repos? A friend of mine is running Kubuntu and I must say installing from repos are much faster (the whole experience); updating the available packages takes seconds (not the downloading, just getting the available updates).

Yes, Synaptic is way faster than zypper and YaST. I left SuSE for a while to try out Ubuntu and this is the one thing I like about it.

Try openSUSE 11.0, the solver and repository handling was rewritten exacly because of the bad performance.
