Something strange is going on, I will try to explain what I saw:

Doing this (on rawhide i386):

# time echo n | python yummain.py -d100 -e100  install redhat-artwork > 
/tmp/o.log

Gives:

Without patches: 11s
With patches: 150s!

Not good.

With patches depsolving stops here:

looking at redhat-artwork as a requirement of ('metacity', 'i386', '0', 
'2.18.0', '1.fc7')

After 60s (sic!) the next line is

looking to see what requires ('/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/index.theme', 
None, (None, None, None)) of redhat-artwork - 5.0.11-1.fc7.i386


While the next line without patches is:

looking to see what requires ('/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc', None, (None, None, 
None)) of redhat-artwork - 5.0.11-1.fc7.i386

And a lot of "looking to see what requires" lines which is not present 
in with patches output.

So with patches a lot of files is skipped, however in some strange way 
skipping is much more expensive.
