On a fast dedicated server, how long should it take for a automatic updgrade from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5. Not sure how long I should let it go before deciding it's "stuck."
Sure would be nice if the screen showed a progress bar. Or at least a message as to what step it's on: unpacking, uploading, etc.
normally on several of my sites it takes between 15 - 30 secs

Wow. After 20 minutes I had to cancel the browser tab.
However, along the way, watching with my FTP client, I was able to see files in WP-admin, WP-includes and in my root are updated to today's date. Once I saw all files with today's date, I assumed that all new files are uploaded. So I went to a new window and started another WP Admin session, and on the Dashboard it says I am on 2.8.5, with no more message to upgrade. The site seems to be working normally (knock on wood).
Does anyone know if the last thing the upgrade process does is to set the new release number? If so, I'll know it's done.
wp-content/upgrade still has the new release files in it, don't know if it's supposed to delete it or not.

If it didn't ever say it finished, it likely didn't complete properly. If you didn't already get a database backup, get one now.
Now increase your memory_limit. Then go to Tools and then to Upgrade and re-run the upgrade.
* Increase the amount of memory a PHP script may consume. Note: If using a shared hosting service, you may need to ask your host to increase the limit.
1. Increase the memory limit setting in php.ini (e.g. memory_limit = 64M ;). Many hosts may not allow this.
2. Increase the memory limit via .htaccess (e.g. php_value memory_limit 64M). Many hosts may not allow this.
3. Increase the memory limit via wp-config.php (e.g. define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64MB');)

Thanks for the info. My memory limit is set to 64. Is that not high enough?
