Yast2 seems to want to scan repositories even during functions that have nothing to do with software management.
As for Packman, it is a pretty big repository, thus longer scanning and initialization. I tend to disable that repository (and others) and enable it only when I want to look for something on Packman. It is annoying to have to remember to turn on and off repositories all the time. Sometimes, I just want to go to Software Management just to see what is currently installed, and not have to scan the repositories. As for the time changing, this was a bug which is claimed to be fixed with 2.16. But, even though I told them it isn't, they still consider it fixed.
