It still wastes a lot of time, although I'm looking at fc6 - maybe it is 
better on newer versions:

# time rpm -q gimp
gimp-2.2.17-1.fc6
real    0m0.129s

[root at moola ~]# time yum -C list installed gimp
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Installed Packages
gimp.i386                     2:2.2.17-1.fc6         installed
real    0m3.566s

And it gets worse on machines with more repos installed.
