Converting from 9.7 to 9.8

SOLVED

We did our upgrade from 9.7 to 9.8 last night. We bailed out and ended up restoring 9.7 - thank goodness for virtual snapshots.

The server upgrade went fine. We then took one of our companies and told it to upgrade the data files. 2 hours later it was still running - and it's not even our largest company. We noticed that 4k files were taking many minutes to process. Has anyone else experienced this? We have decent hardware, and are running on Server 2008.

We did find 3 things along the way:

1) the automatic backup started partway through the process so we killed it - that improved speed a bit

2) we did have antivirus (trend micro) running for a while then killed it

3) after we aborted we noticed in task manager that "trustedinstaller.exe" was still running.  My IT person wondered if that was left over from the install and might have affected this.  We did restart after the server install, and it did give us the message saying it was finished installing

Any help greatly appreciated!
