I left it until over an hour after the package transaction had completed 
(headed out to lunch) - anaconda was consuming moderate amounts of CPU 
but there was almost no disk I/O going on by this point.

I have some other boxes to upgrade - I was planning to do these via my 
usual torrented media & kickstart (I wanted to give preupgrade a spin so 
tried it out on the first system to get upgraded), will do at least some 
of these via preupgrade instead and see if I see the same problem there.
