A few data points, for those who are about to do this. On a single-CPU 2GB system I get:
load averages: 0.30, 0.27, 0.27; up 6+07:48:21 20:10:07 120 processes: 119 sleeping, 1 on cpu CPU states: 91.6% idle, 0.4% user, 8.0% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Kernel: 38225 ctxsw, 309 trap, 672 intr, 442 syscall, 154 flt, 612 pgin Memory: 2048M phys mem, 34M free mem, 3072M total swap, 2589M free swap PID USERNAME NLWP PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 3837 root 1 60 0 1231M 1131M sleep 6:10 1.36% pkg 1629 ci 21 59 0 132M 11M sleep 2:58 0.05% java 1650 ci 2 59 0 92M 13M sleep 4:46 0.05% gnome-netstatus 3038 root 18 59 0 17M 5380K sleep 172:42 0.05% smbd 3869 ci 1 59 0 3868K 2172K cpu 0:00 0.05% top ... (It is still 'creating plan' for the last 90 minutes or so). The next box, 8GB quad-core system, I get: load averages: 3.55, 3.49, 3.34; up 6+04:09:53 20:18:58 134 processes: 131 sleeping, 3 on cpu CPU states: 17.1% idle, 4.7% user, 78.2% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Kernel: 2513 ctxsw, 55 trap, 7578 intr, 12192 syscall Memory: 8192M phys mem, 280M free mem, 4095M total swap, 4095M free swap PID USERNAME NLWP PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 2207 ci 17 10 0 1720M 1684M cpu/0 109.8H 49.76% VirtualBox 3270 ci 17 51 0 845M 817M cpu/1 226:08 24.90% VBoxHeadless 3466 root 1 60 0 1369M 1341M sleep 11:16 5.94% pkg 2229 ci 14 59 0 359M 157M sleep 77:31 0.77% firefox-bin The update started a little later than the first one and is almost finished (actually just finished). Earlier updated my laptop (2GB dual core, HP nx6310) without any problems.
