I've done it, no problem, on a low-resource system. It goes one-by-one although I forget how it decides the order. It is no more resource-dependent than any other shell script and doesn't do anything more than would have been done during the package install. However, perhaps it found a weakness in the system, in the same way that compiling taxes a system in unusual ways. I'm thinking re drive system or it found a kernel bug...
