It eats so much CPU (I have an AMD64 3200 w/ 2GB ram) that it heats up the cpu pretty good. Taking around half an hour to refresh at 100% cpu when I try to change an installation source, or when I log in, just isn't worth it for me. I would rather the updater only check for security updates if it takes it that long that often to refresh. I did add a few sources, but that is just not acceptable. Uninstalling zen-updater, zmd, rug allows me to get more work done without cooking my CPU (for example, ksensors says it is now 36 degrees. When zmd is cooking the cpu, I have seen it at 66 degrees. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871
