Actually the desktop install CD is usually faster.

Time it ;)

The desktop CD basically extracts a bunch of files from a compressed
filesystem where the alternate CD installs individual packages one by
one which is much more time intensive. Alternate disk will indeed work
on machines with less ram and has indeed wider hardware support, but the
Desktop disk will pretty much always be much faster installation-wise.
