I know there's always about 10 different ways to do things in FME, so is there a better way than this to trim the geometry of a point?
CoordinateExtractor (to _x and _y attributes)
AttributeRounder (_x and _y to 3 decimal places using Nearest method)
GeometryReplacer (OGC Well Known Text Geometry Encoding, POINT (@Value(_x) @Value(_y)) Geometry Source)

Have a look at the CoordinateRounder
No need to extract the coordinates first.
Agree with erik_jan about the CoordinateRounder. Alternatively, if you're going to write your data to an ESRI database (ArcSDE, File Geodatabase, etc), consider looking into the ArcSDEGridSnapper as well.
Extracting coordinates is guaranteed to slow down your workspace by quite a lot, so try to avoid it as much as possible.

For info, I subsequently noticed the coordinates are in the data as attributes, already rounded. However a comparison of using GeometryReplacer with those existing attribute values vs CoordinateRounder shows that CoordinateRounder is about a minute faster for 320,000 records.
