Comment (by airathalitov):

 This is how I see it:


 == Logic for updating one plugin:

 - Download plugin
 - Unpack plugin

 - If plugin is active {
 - Turn on maintenance mode
 - Install plugin
 - Disable maintenance mode }

 - Else if plugin is not active {
 - Install plugin (without maintenance mode) }

 - Delete old files



 == Logic for updating multiple plugins:

 - Download all plugins
 - Unpack all plugins
 - Check status of each plugin (active|inactive)
 - Group plugins into 2 groups by status (active|inactive)
 - Install all inactive plugins (without enabling maintenance mode)
 - Enable maintenance mode
 - Install all active plugins
 - Disable maintenance mode
 - Delete old files

 This algorithm should work faster. And you do not need to constantly
 switch the maintenance mode.
