We must have different opinions on what constitutes "slowish" ;-) Over the weekend I upgraded my old print/file server from FC2 to FC3. It's an AMD K6 200MHz with 128M RAM. It was an NFS install from a much faster machine, with a 100-BaseTX network between the two. It's a custom install, installing around 1.3GB of updated packages. It took around 2.5 hours. Then another half hour or so to install the errata packages and a hour or so to go through the upgrade.log and fix up all the configuration files that needed it (anything where a .rpmsave or .rpmnew was mentioned).
