Troubleshooting Security Update 2003-8-14: Long optimization times

Several readers report an unusually long optimization process for the 2003-08-14 security update, released yesterday. One reader writes "I just installed the new Security Update 8-14-03. I also noted that the optimization took an extraordinary long time ? much longer than previous updates. It may convince some that the system is hung."

Make sure to allow the optimization process to complete, and do not restart your system prematurely. Wait 20 to 30 minutes before aborting optimization if you think your system has frozen.
