I don't really think there's a problem. I have 1636 packages installed ("rpm -qa |wc -l") and have two configured installation sources, the distribution DVD and an FTP server. I think the latter slows the startup process. Also there appears to be a very sizeable effect from in-memory caching of disk blocks, because if I run it twice in immediate succession, the second launch is much quicker.
I noticed a slowdown when I added a FTP server the the sources. It also seems to slow down if I have NFS client running to another computer. Rich
