Yes, very much the same, there's a 30 sec pause in the log:

[...]

So quite apparently something is misfiring and there's a 30sec timeout 
on something, somewhere...

Also I /think/ this didn't happen in F15-alpha originally when I 
installed it, but I could easily be wrong on that (too many things going 
on for the poor mind to keep up :)
