Does this happen regularly with Tumbleweed, or just when you use your system rarely, like every other Friday 12th?

There are reasonably frequent rebuilds of basically all packages as new versions of the compiler, gcc, come in

So a bit like Debian testing after the stable release and before freezing.

I find it very common with opensuse. At first I was ecstatic to update, but now I just can't care - it takes too long, so I do it every few months.

the hell kind of PC do you have?

I have an Intel Celeron laptop and an i7-4770k i7 desktop computer. Zypper is just too slow when you have many packages installed, but I require them for my work.

Regardless, a Celeron processor should be more than enough for downloading and updating packages. I'd rather not blame the hardware for a task as trivial as that.
