It sounds to me like you're all hitting different issues, and none of
them is general: my F16 system doesn't have any slowness issues, and
I've booted various F16 lives on my laptop over the last few days and
haven't had any serious issue there either. I know some others don't
have slowness issues with F16 either. So these must be
configuration-specific to *some* degree.

One known issue currently is lldpad getting installed and enabled by
default and eating a lot of CPU time, when booting live and on installs
from live images; you can disable the service or just 'yum remove
lldpad' (it'll take anaconda with it, which is fine) to resolve that
one.
