Comment(by wpmuguru):

 If we were to do all the site upgrades in sequence it would probably
 dramatically increase the failure rate of upgrades on larger sites. The 5
 sites per screen with the short delay between screens is most likely a
 compromise between the speed of the upgrade and success rate of upgrades.
 Active plugins also affect the duration of the upgrade.

 I don't have access to statistics for the server capacity distribution
 across existing installs, so I wouldn't be comfortable with changing the
 number per screen without a second opinion.

 Some things that we could do are:

 - add a running tally at the top of the screen showing a total of how many
 updated
 - include the blog id & description with each site listed and a
 success/failure note
 - increase the delay between pages so the page is visible longer
 - on a failure give an option to retry that site and an option to proceed
 with the next one after the failed site (2nd opinion on this as well)
