d00d, what's your gripe with yum and why does it bother you that much? Fedora is constantly working on yum to improve it wherever possible, including speed. The fact is it is slower than apt. Big deal. It does other things better than apt. Should I start a thread bitching about how Debian/Ubuntu sucks because I can't control package architectures as well as with Yum? Of course not. Each has strengths and weaknesses. If Yum doesn't tickle your fancy, all you gotta do is say "Sorry, not for me." As I said before, I prefer Yum to apt. I also don't care about speed of install as much as I care about getting it done exactly how I want it.
We know you don't like yum. Chill. Others do, and just because it doesn't do exactly what you want doesn't make it a bad program. This is linux, you have options.
EDIT: FWIW, I am updating my gentoo system on my main PC now... all to change a few cflags/use flags and upgrade a few apps. It might be done when I wake up tomorrow. In the grand scheme of things, the speed difference between yum and apt isnt that much.
