I don't think this is a issue with CentOS/RHEL. The kickstart in this instance is passing through a firewall appliance, which I think is Open/FreeBSD based and we now believe is breaking tcp window scaling. It seems that CentOS3&4 was unaffected by this but with v5 network connections hang after transferring about 500k. On a network that does not pass through this firewall v5 works as expected.

Ah. Well, to partially confirm; did a CentOS 5 install via NFS yesterday. Would have passed through Cisco and Checkpoint routers / firewalls. No issues.
