Consider the amount of time it takes to update a system vs. its overall runtime. Now consider what's important in a package manager. Consistency, rollback, configuration management, audit trails, etc. The speed of the package manager is at the absolute bottom of things to be concerned about.

Sure, the things you mention are important, but all other things being equal, everybody would prefer faster installs to slower ones, right? So it's a fair thing to worry about, me thinks.
