I've experienced the same issues, even when using a local mirror of FC2 from fedora.download.com and using the file:// method with yum. It takes a few minutes just to install a single package. I also tried up2date, but the best tool imho is apt-get together with synaptic, decent performance combined with a nice command line tool - and it just worked (tm). BTW, system-config-packages has a bug in an not yet official documented feature when using /etc/system-config-packages.method file and specifying a TREE= method. The linebreak after TREE=<dir>\n is included in the python tree variable and thus making system-config-packages not work with local copies of the FC cds (a .trim() in config.py solves this problem btw...).
