Exactly same problem for me under ubuntu 13.04, but time can take over 10 hours.
And it's not a computation problem, because even renice -20 on grub commands changes nothing

Title:
[Natty] Generating grub.cfg takes way too long
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ever since updating to 11.04 (Natty) update-grub takes 10-12 minutes to generate grub.cfg
In fact, I had aborted my first attempt to upgrade the system thinking that it had failed at that point.
To date, I am using 64-bit kernel 2.6.38-8-generic and grub-probe
version 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 and I can see exact the same problem on
each kernel upgrade. The reason is a mystery to me as the upgrade log
comes clean like this,
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 2.6.38-10-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-10-generic
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common 2.6.38-10-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-10-generic
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/pm-utils 2.6.38-10-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-10-generic

Generating grub.cfg ...

done
It's just a long wait (10-12 minutes) after "Generating grub.cfg ..."
message, as if update-grub would have froze.
