I have tried to do a quick non-scientific measurement of the length of the 
installation (F22 Alpha TC8 Server DVD, all defaults). The times were measured 
from hitting the Begin Installation button to the Installation finished message 
(I configured the root password during the run). I made two runs for each case, 
and I worked during the installations in other applications (mostly web 
browser), so it might have skewed the results quite a bit. I can devote some 
time to do proper testing, if it would increase the chance to have this fixed 
soon(er) ;-)

With spinner on, it took me this long:
16m 57s
15m 6s

With spinner off, it took me this long:
4m 59s
5m 9s


The most time difference seems to be in the post-installation phase, where 
multithreaded jobs are run and the spinner consumes a lot of available 
processing power. The installation phase (rpm installations) seems to be 
similarly long for both cases, and most of the time difference is created in 
the post-installation phase.
