Well this is really nice. Running in vmware on my laptop 'yum list' goes
down from ~22s to ~8s. Will make a huge difference for repoquery as well.
Speaking of which, sorry haven't done much anything about the initial hack
due to some unexpected "real life" drama. I'll try to get *something* out
for people to play with by end of next week.
