 It would have been more useful to end the message here, as from what I
read Michael just wanted to know how compatible zypp was with Fedora.
But alas...

 *sigh*, if you want to do some benchmarking of different package
managers available in Fedora (zypp makes the 4th, if apt is working
again) then feel free to actually do _a bunch of work_ comparing apples
to apples. You'll almost certainly be speaking privately with developers
from all of the tools, to make sure you aren't screwing it up. _Then_
post the results somewhere.
 I would be more than happy to help you, with regards to yum, if only
because it'd be nice to have _some_ third party results somewhere that
weren't completely insane.
 If, however, you want to just post "yum is slow" feel free to not do so
on f-d-l. Likewise with quick "benchmarks" like this (which amounts to
the same thing, IMO).

 HTH. HAND.
