Yes, everything was shutdown prior to running update_subkeys, and I use
the released tarball.  I started the update at 10:00:14, and now (at
19:40) there are about 1 500 000 keys processed (as indicated by the
log.  150 times "10000 updates found.  Applying to database").

I have no idea what is slowing it down that badly, but there is plenty
of CPU left, plenty of RAM left and the swap used stays very much
constant (i.e. not trashing) and I don't think that my disks are _that_
slow.
