I'm not surprised. The bulk of do_rootfs is creating a repository
index (not done by dnf), resolving dependencies (not done by dnf), and
unpacking and writing out .rpm content (also not done by dnf). Dnf5
might feel snappier in interactive command line sessions, but
otherwise the whole project seems somewhat misguided.
