Problem is: during beta test I have been busy reporting and detailling other bugs so I did not participate in the zen buddism here. And I'd agree with you that it will be solved etc. I just did not know (did you?) that it takes up to half an hour to get a 2.xGHz machine booted into a proper functioning state. For me this order of magnitude of slow down is unexpected, I am not even sure it was there with beta versions.
It's unexpected for me as well, I wouldn't have shipped it if we had seen this with new installation. I got some reports from people doing an update from Beta7 where zmd took ages and those where a result of old repositories. Btw. I'm currently working on releasing an update of the package management stack. It will not solve the performance issues in general but fixes a couple of bugs so if the problem you have comes from such a bug, it might be fixed...
