oh yes, that is the case for any kind of upgrades because while ips is still rotating the slash, the others are half-way through already. i've done rhel upgrades after 1 1/2 years and they were significantly faster than ips upgrades after a month. just because they handle download and extraction of the packages differently doesn't mean the total time is better. what matters is how long it takes in total.
