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).
I've done many many (hundreds) of installs, and they're all slow. I've jumped into the shell during an installation to try and locate the source of the slowness and have failed.
The hard disks are being accessed at full speed (IDE systems have DMA enabled, and SCSI systems are ... SCSI...). The network is at gig/full-duplex. The network is not dropping packets. The CPU is not pegged, though iowait is through the roof.
I have a feeling it's got something to do with the disk or network drivers in the PXE/installer kernel versus the production kernel.
Anybody know a way for me to dig deeper and try to locate the source of the slowness?
