F18 Slow (was: Broken dependencies from F17->F18 upgrade)

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!
