We did an upgrade (== complete restart) of a 2000 node instance in ~20
minutes on Wednesday. I wouldn't really consider that 'slow', but YMMV.
I suspect people aren't running the secondary name node and therefore have
massively large edits file. The name node appears slow on restart because
it has to apply the edits to the fsimage rather than having the secondary
keep it up to date.
