I have to wonder just how much time is really saved here though.  I
thought that once createrepo is to the point of dumping to an sqlite
file that it has all the information from the xml files in question and
it doesn't have to go touching every package in the tree which is where
the real time delays come in.  Also the code that is generating the
sqlite content is compiled C and quite fast IIRC.  Are we really
expecting a significant speedup here?
