Does anyone else notice that the current incarnation of Yumex has become
incredibly slow?  I've been waiting half an hour for it to finish
compiling all the data it wants *just* to display what I can pick from
to install.  It seems to take long enough normally, but now it's
deadlooping, repeatedly fetching the file lists.

I had, previously, unticked a setting that says it'll take more time
(show file lists and changelog), but that setting didn't hold the next
time I started it, and hasn't helped for the time after that (where the
setting did hold).

The "auto refresh on start" option seems useless.  Turn it off, and you
get no file lists, at all, and no way to start them.  Some sort of "no
refresh on restart" would be useful.  It's a pain when you download one
package, install it, then decide to get another, and you have to sit
through it regetting the package lists, recompiling the lists, etc.  I'm
sure they haven't changed enough to care about in just a couple of
minutes.

I'd use YUM or a website, they're quicker, but only useful if I know
what I want to install, they don't have package descriptions.

I read messages from the public lists.

This happens when the checksum of the repo meta data, not is matching the checksum in repomd.xml. If this happens yum (yumex) while try to read the repo metadata from another mirror, if the error exist in the main site, then all mirror will contain the fault and it will look like yumex is trying to read the metadata again & again.
