Termiation of the process takes a minute or more. Then each of the following processes, "Shutting down interface eth0", "Shutting down loopback interface", and "Stopping iptables" exhibit similar behavior.  Termination of these four processes takes minutes to complete.  Whereas in the past it took only seconds.

If your /home directory is on a separate partition or you have the
diskspace necessary to backup your data, I would try a fresh install
instead of an upgrade.
