I just tried on a couple of sites locally out of curiosity. Neither site is *that* huge, but one has 1.5 million posts and another has 150,000 members. If I were you I would seriously look into your configuration since there's no reason your site should take 6 hours when both of my tests took less than a minute. Even if you're sites were 10x larger then you should still be able to install in less than 10 minutes.
Also, what are the results like when you try to install one of the products to your local computer? I assume you're testing things locally first and not just updating the live server anyway? Does it take you 6 hours locally too?

These tests were done locally running a Core i7 3770, 16GB RAM, w/ MySQL tables saved on a 7200RPM HDD. It's definitely NOT optimized for Apache or MySQL either.
