Try what I suggested. You can either do it from 13 or 14. My guess is
that there may be an incomplete update floating around in the system
and/or 14 is looking for a device it can't find and eventually times
out. You can check all of the logs etc., etc., but I would first just
try updating again. If after doing that you still experience the same
problems, then dig into the logs etc.

BTW: Does 13 give the same delay?
