I ran it as root, and it did fix the delay, BUT... It also removed my plugins! After running the command I no longer had flash support. Just rescanning for plugins in konqueror did not fix this. See command output below. I had to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and then do a rescan for plugins in konqueror to get flash support back. > Please let me know if this fixes it.

Also note that a lot of users do not have apt-listchanges installed, so if you only add the warning in NEWS.Debian most will not see the warning. Unless you add support for running the command (maybe after a debconf prompt?) during the upgrade, I think you can expect a fair amount of BRs... IMO this is the kind of thing an update should, if possible, take care of automatically. Complication may be that if users have plugins installed under their home dir that they will need to run the command themselves anyway?
