There were a lot of fixes between 4.3-r and 4.4-r. There were several large security holes that you are now running. It all depends on what you are using. I have dual 866 coppermines and a DSL line. The cvsup upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4-stable required about an hour from cvsup to reboot to new version.
