10.3 stil updater takes a lot of cpu checking, and whatever it does,
i have to turn it off immediately when i am on 10.3 sometimes...


The slowness grows exponentially with the number of software
repositories you have selected. The reason is that the Updater has to
parse, refresh and build all of the indexes for rpms available and
installed on the system. Take a look at /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db and
you will get a feel for the sheer size of the information being
churned when the applet is active.

How does deb handle this? do they just have fewer repos? A friend of
mine is running Kubuntu and I must say installing from repos are much
faster (the whole experience); updating the available packages takes
seconds (not the downloading, just getting the available updates).
I have tried reading up on deb vs rpm, but its not easy getting a sober,
non emotional, description from the two camps.
