Hi all,
When I do a simple string search with Yum (ex. yum search *hwinfo*) my laptop suffers high slowness. If I open another shell-tab and execute top command, it shows me an extensive use of hardware resources from Yum (20-25% RAM and 70-85% CPU). If in the same time I'm using Firefox browser the performance goes down too much and even it seems the box it's freezed. The box become totally useless during few minutes (until yum command has finished or I've killed it)
Yeah, that's yum. You should see what it does to my old Pentium MMX laptop :-(
