Description Joseph Comfort 2008-12-21 17:30:10 UTC 
I just installed openSuSE 11.1.  I use the YaST2 Software Management to adjust the packages I need, primarily through the 'All Packages' list under Package groups.

The time to load the list has increased enormously -- estimate a couple orders of magnitude -- from previous versions.  There is no obvious sign of activity.  I can't cancel; switching back and forth between desktops leaves a blank window.  The software appears buggy, dead, and hung up -- until it finally completes the task.  After setting up xosview, I see that one of a dual cpu is at 100%, but there is little or no disk activity.  It looks like a huge programming inefficiency has crept in.  Can this be cleared up soon?  Thank you.
