Not right now (can't move from home right now, no blank dvds/cds
around). However, I HAD tried a live CD before install (now borrowed
from a friend) and it was just as slow, if not slower. Back then I
didn't bother too much for slowness, thinking "once installed for real
it will go faster", because I only wanted to be sure that it would
recognize all the hardware.
