it's not because of performance, it's because this how i picked packages 
to downgrade:
0. cd /var/spool/repackage
1. ln -s */python*.rpm .
2. ln -s */somethingelse* .
3. rm *not*this*.rpm *not*that*.rpm
4. ls # to verify

or you mean my own performance? yes, i performed the upgrade a lot 
faster than looking each package which needed downgrade as well due new 
python bytecode dependency missing :)

i personally don't like --force & --nodeps (like gotar snippet),
so i tried to pick packages that resulted all dependencies remaining 
okay after downgrade.
