The update process should be fast - BUT this might be 
related to the type testing? Are the pages dynamic pages

Definitely strange - but the site consistency can be bogus 
is the update process is too long

Even with interrupting "gently" ? (that is, cancelling, and 
waiting for pending downloads to finish)
