I have installed XP SP2 on several machines now. The first time the machine starts up after XP SP2 is installed, it does take a long time to start (it actually seems like a lot of the installation is done after the machine restarts). It does get quicker though.
the 3.5 hourse to download is quick if she's on Dial Up. Even if she is on broadband, then it may not be so unusual as the windows update servers are under a heavy strain at the moment.
