10.3 stil updater takes a lot of cpu checking, and whatever it does, i have to turn it off immediately when i am on 10.3 sometimes...
The slowness grows exponentially with the number of software repositories you have selected. The reason is that the Updater has to parse, refresh and build all of the indexes for rpms available and installed on the system. Take a look at /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db and you will get a feel for the sheer size of the information being churned when the applet is active.
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). I have tried reading up on deb vs rpm, but its not easy getting a sober, non emotional, description from the two camps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
