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.
