Really? As fast as apt (couldn't resist...)? (When) will it hit

Unlikely I think, if nothing else because the speed improvements to some
extent come from using an SQLite database backend, and SQLite isn't in
FC3.
Is it fc3-compatible (i don't have any rawhide machines
lying around, sorry), so i can just yum it in from rawhide to my
fc3-box?
Don't do that! Well, unless you want an enormously large chunk of
Rawhide on your box. Rawhide yum is built against Python 2.4 while the
Python version in FC3 is 2.3. Thus if you update Yum you'll pull in
Python 2.4 which will in turn pull in everything written in Python which
will in turn pull in hordes of other stuff. (This is assuming that the
deps are all set up right; otherwise you might end up with a bunch of
broken crap instead.) Since you aren't already running rawhide on the
box, I gather that this really isn't what you want!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
