Compare:

RHEL3 U8 on an HP xw9300 workstation installs in about 11 minutes (5.7GB of packages).

RHEL5b Client/Workstation on that exact same system takes over an hour and a half to install 10GB of packages.

Anybody else noticed this?

Yes, though I don't have many data points, having only done a 3 or 4 installs so far, and focused on other details (like changes to kickstart files). Also, I was doing Server installs, with a much smaller footprint (<300rpms, <1GB). The subjective experience was of something pretty wrong though: much longer for the OS to install than normal, and filenames echoed as they installed in %post ticked by rather than streaming by too fast to read.
