I just installed mine.  Indeed, it installs in a few minutes, if all
goes well.  The two trace cuts are at well-marked "bow tie" lands that
were clearly intended for this eventuality.  The instructions caution
you to not cut too deeply (apparently it's a multilayer PC board).
The hardest part of the job for me was getting all the pins aligned
and shoved into their sockets without bending anything.  I found that
one long resistor pack on the TWGS needed to be gently urged over a
bit to make room for the components on the piggyback cache card.

Well, it does work, and for some things I can see an improvement.
