Not d/l speed related.  I just want to share.  I update a very fast 8 core
server, with a conventional disk drive.  Took 2-3 hours, not including d/l.

I update my laptop which has an ssd (and MORE packages).  Took 10-15 minutes.

I think this might simply have to do with rpm running ldconfig (a very
disk IO expensive operation) for a large number of packages. I'm not
sure yum/rpm has deferred ldconfig processing.

DISCLAIMER: I may be very wrong. Please don't quote me on this.

ldconfig gets run a lot yes, but its also really fast these days. fdatasync() which gets called even more (a lot more at that) seems like a more likely painpoint on upgrades.
