Comment (by lovingboth):

 On another VPS it's happening on, lscpu says it's a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
 E5-2630L 0 @ 2.00GHz with a BogoMIPS of 4000.

 Setting max_execution_time = 60 on this one is not sufficient to avoid
 problems.

 In the updates page of the dashboard, if I update Twenty Ten, **it takes
 30 seconds** from the appearance of 'Update Themes' to the 'The update
 process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so
 please be patient...' lines. It then doesn't complete before timing out.

 I know the cryptographic functions in the sodium_compat library are
 designed to have a constant execution time for any particular task, but
 it's clearly too long.

 (Unless someone here is paying for me to have faster VPSes...)
