It might be possible to take that long. At this stage yum is resolving
dependencies (i think) or running rpm transaction before actual package
installation starts. I've seen similar behavior on ia64 in the past. IIRC there
was something about yum and memory which was causing it to run slowly. Try RHEL
5.2 or another architecture (32bit if possible) with the same package set and
partitioning to see if there's change in the speed. Also try Fedora 9 which has
newer version of yum.
