Haven't really needed to rollback ever yet, but its nice to have that too.

I haven't found it to be slow. The previous quote shows how much CPU-time upgrading 79 packages took, not much.
"261.88 user, 73.99 system, 38:34.11 elapsed, 14%CPU "
The actual time was long, because the system was downloading packages over slow net bandwidth.
