Less than that, for sure.  On my machines it is usually done in a few
hours.  

There was something else going on.  Fedora often installs with services
started that are not appropriate for your system, because they are
trying to make things available to people who do need those services.
You should look in System->Administration->Services and turn off
anything you don't need.

If you do decide to test F11 again, be sure and use top and iotop (in a
terminal) to see what is using all the power of your machine.

A couple of user processes that eat a lot of power are beagle and
strigi, particularly if they are set to monitor lots of directories and web
pages.  When web surfing, the slowdown is noticeable. And ill formed
javascript can really such up the cpu time; use noscript firefox
plugin to turn off javascript unless you want it.
