That is not normal. Did you do a thorough system cleanup before installing SP2 - specifically viruses and spyware? I can install SP2 on a 1 GHz machine completely in less than half an hour from CD or the downloaded admin install.

I have AVG 7.0 and I ran the virus scan before the install; however, I did not run any spyware scan before that. My PC seems to be fine after the install. I was surprised that it took so long too, because I upgraded my laptop to SP2 in less than an hour.
