I don't know if it is too early to do install timings (due to debugging 
be on in the kernel, elsewhere?) but here are the longest steps from a 
fairly stripped down kickstart server install of about 389 packages:

F-13:

enablefilesystems     3:10s
postselection        24:27s
installpackages      14:30s

F-12:

enablefilesystems     2:50s
postselection        36:45s
installpackages      11:36s (probably had more packages in our local cache)

The install spends a long time displaying "Checking dependencies in 
packages selected for installation" with no movement of the progress bar.

Any way this could get sped up more (good job going from 36m to 24m) and 
progress shown?

Interestingly a much larger install set on a laptop took only 1:34s in 
postselection.
