Nothing to do with files that are "running", there's simply more files on the disc that might be checked upon when you're updating files through RPM (think: dependencies). Kernel packages involve quite a lot of files, so it becomes quite noticeable. Even more so if you have the docs and devels installed, too. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
