Then you probably have fast machines. On Netbooks or old computers presto sucks big fat donkey dong and I am _not_ exaggerating. Downloading with a fast line is basically effortless. Regenerating the RPMs isn't and it basically just froze my netbook (EeePC 901)

Nope. Using Fedora 12 on a regular laptop as well as a netbook. EEEPC, in fact.

OK, maybe your Netbook as a fast SSD or F12 presto improved over F11 tenfold. Trust me F11 presto sucked on my netbook and somehow I think it didn't change all that much or did it?
