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

You update the mirror sorting? I remember that being a thing and it really speeds up the updates
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.
