Yum faster in Gnome?

Is it just me or does it make sense that yum works faster in Gnome?

Faster than what where?

Its a console program, I don't think there would be any difference in speed or performance regardless of which desktop environment you are using.

Faster than KDE. Perhaps Gnome just takes up less RAM, leaving more for Yum? I'm currently only running FC3 on some bare bones systems for graphics -> P2,P3 with 128MB RAM. I've noticed some crazy improvements with minimalist WMs.

XFce uses even less memory. Try it there and see if its an improvement. I noticed that it depends upon the current network traffic, the yum.conf you are using and what you are updating without the manager being used as part of the equation of throughput performance.

If you really want a 'taste test', try running yum in console mode (failsafe) or CTRL-ALT-F1 out, etc.
