I just did an 'apt-get upgrade' and not only did it appear to take somewhere close to forever, it also bogged down the rest of the system. In the end, I interrupted the process, did the workaround from here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/607632/comments/12

and restarted the process using LD_PRELOAD, which completed very quickly.

Ubuntu Natty, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86-64, btrfs on SSD disk.

I don't think it was this slow before, did something change recently?
