Perfect timing on that info. I finally got enough of my own infrastructure (mirrors, build systems, etc.) together to spin a custom Fedora 18 Live (using livecd-tools) and found it to be extremely slow which had left me worried last night that something was fundamentally different. (Extreme may sound harsh, but I'm running this on a lowly PC/104 system with a Geode processor, which is slow under the best circumstances.) I'll try making a spin later today using that kernel and report back my findings.
Anyway, I was happy just to see it boot and appear mostly operational, especially since I was unable to do the same using F17 to build a F17 Live spin of the same sort.
Great job so far everyone!
