Hi.
Centos 3 or 4? Standard or newer yum?
Maybe a "yum clean all" would help?
Also, that can be a processor intensive action - what does top show?
What happens if you just leave it running for an hour?
Another idea is that the yum folks are preparing to do a new release
which will have lots of speed improvements. You could wait for that
if you don't mind running non-centos packages.
