Software management slows down in a long seasoned system in 10.3.
This script "greases the wheels"

rpm --rebuilddb is obvious.

So you want to do it often? Why not put it in a crontab. Obviously first
test if there is nothing busy with using the database, like another rpm
or YaST.

It then copies the files with a new name and removes the old ones.
Then it renames the new files to old ones.

This "defrags" them and keeps software management running quickly as
new.

This last part I think is odd. I see no reason for this.
