I found this bootchart:

Look at yum-updatesd, it's the single worst service.

Would it be possible to start the mainloop() quickly (in the
yum-updatesd wrapper), return to prompt and then import yumupd and set
up stuff in the background?

Could also add a delay before importing yumupd if uptime is less 60 secs
or something as resources is constrained during boot and yum-updatesd is
not needed so short after boot anyway.
