So far I've installed Oracle Linux on one laptop.  What I got was exactly
what I expected to get, and I didn't have any issues at all.  "dnf
upgrade" worked exactly as expected and at pretty much exactly the same
speed as it does on Centos, too.

But that's just one installation.  I haven't done anything else with OL
yet at all.

Maybe my problem was I used yum, not dnf command. Or maybe my locality 
of specifically my domain is not favored by oracle. Or maybe other way 
around, my network admins... But then, mine is just a single 
installation, exactly as you told about yours ;-)
