Here's some more interesting metrics:
time yum list installed > /dev/null

real	0m1.331s
user	0m1.060s
sys	0m0.170s


time rpm -qa > /dev/null

real	0m9.919s
user	0m9.439s
sys	0m0.111s


this one is listing all installed and available pkgs:
time yum list > /dev/null

real	0m4.404s
user	0m3.904s
sys	0m0.291s


So yum is listing 10115 pkgs (on my system) in 4.404 seconds.

I can't show you the comparable command in rpm b/c it doesn't exist.

-sv
