I agree with Alf, we've been using afs under fedora 12 in "reasonable modern" workstations (the oldest is a single core 4 yr old box :-) without any major show-stoppers. Yes, there is the annoying syslogging for large caches (more so when you boot the machine), but overall, we didn't notice any performance degradation (we didn't perform any statistical measure tough) at runtime.
We just picked the src.rpm and rebuilt it for fedora 12. One advantage that we found (if others can confirm this, it would be great) in using Fedora 12 is that we don't need the pam_afs_session anymore, the pam_krb5 provided in fedora correctly gets the kerberos tickets and afs tokens at loging time and we didn't need to mess around with the pam.d/* files. We don't use serial consoles, so Simon might be right about his performance concerns, but we are not seeing any bottlenecks for graphical workstations (KDE or Gnome). Again, we didn't make any rigorous testing, so take my words with caution until the experts confirm.
