I can confirm the same issue; installation via the alpha 2 32bit
alternate media takes ~2 hours when installing to a btrfs partition,
compared to ~15 minutes to ext4. I'm not sure that system specs are
necessary, because I don't think this is a bug (or if it is, it should
be addressed upstream).

There's an old thread on the linux-btrfs list[1] which mentions a
similar problem, so perhaps btrfs' performance characteristics are
unfavourable towards file activity related to package
unpacking/installation.
