With a large repository, like Fedora, even a compressed XML file is

I thought there was supposed to be a move towards using a proper
database scheme, a long time ago, that would have sped up all of that?
I recall something discussed awhile back regarding implementing a more
efficient database scheme. Current discussions on development seem to be
concentrating on removing features like rpm -ivh url and instead
requiring the use of wget to download the rpm and secondarily installing
the rpm from local directory. No mention regarding changing to the more
efficient database format.
