Seems like my problems with F25 a year ago, so here is what I did, sorry
for lack of details (I'll access the HW within next couple of hours) - SD
Card does matter: I used some budget Sandisk (class 10 I believe) worked
really slow. I moved to some Samsung Evo (class 10 as well - much better).
I also observerd an improvement when I changed io scheduler to noop. Also
an upgrade from 25 to 26 improved a lot. Now hearing You have problems with
27 I'm i doubt... I was about to upgrade this week.
When I was investigating this problem with nmon I've foud that
systemd-journald is responsible for "heavy" IO. Does it perform IO
synchronously ?

Update.
The dnf update process is still very, very slow on the RPi3. It will take
all night (8 hours) to run. For comparison, I installed F27 workstation
on a Celeron N3000 machine with 2 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD earlier this
week. A much larger (workstation versus minimal server) dnf update took in
the order of 10 minutes on that machine. I don't think the I/0 speed and
processing power difference is an order of 1000 between these two
machines.
I ran $top in another console while #dnf update was running. dnf is
rarely at the top of the top listing. And when it is, it is using ~40% of
the CPU and only 12% of the memory. None of the swap memory is being used
at all. 90% of the time $top itself is the largest resource user.
So why is the #dnf update process so slow ? Is it I/O bound ? Is it an
I/O access algorithm problem ?
