I just received mine on Friday, a day after we bought a new copy at work.
The small floppy-mailer included two disks and a cover letter.  The reason
it's taking so long is that Aladdin shipped it out in bulk mail,
which, according to their rep, "takes 10-15 days".  The new copy we bought
at work included a 23-page "StuffIt Deluxe 2.0 Addendum."  Funny, but that
wasn't in my upgrade package.  Worse yet, is that it was version 2.0 which
has already been superceeded by version 2.0.1 (evidently there's a bug
which doesn't convert 1.5.1 archives correctly).  Aladdin has promised an
updater, but I haven't seen it as of yet.
 
As for speed, I'll leave that until I'm done testing and timing, but it
looks like you'll all be "treated" to some more rantings and ravings.
(HINT: I've recently switched to Compactor...)
