It is the dracut initrd regeneration for me actually, even on SSD it takes *minutes* :). That's a long-standing pain, yeah. Did anyone profile the dracut operation to point out what takes so long? I know xz takes quite some time, but it's not dominant, I guess. It would help if we finally had a transaction hook that does not need to run these regenerations multiple times in one update, if more than one package needs them.
The current post trigger in kernel package is intended for safety reason. But maybe it makes little sense nowadays where multiple kernels are installed. Takashi
