¿Is this behaviour "normal"? ¿What about this extensive hardware use from Yum?
Does this happen during the metadata parsing? If so, yes, it is quite resource intensive, especially when you have some large repositories enabled. There is a C metadata parser that is available from the yum site, that is much faster and lighter. But it requires yum 2.6.2.
I supose my laptop is an old-fashioned hardware but this behaviour did not happen when I installed Ubuntu (and I did use apt to manage sofware) in same machine in recent past.
APT is available from the Extras repository, and may be faster on old hardware.
With kind regards, Daniel de Kok
