Most of the time was spent downloading the tarfile and extracting from the USB once the  files are download the install completes quickly

Huh? If that was much quicker (you were running the same kernel, from the install image?) - where did the upgrade spend all the additional time?
Extracting sets should be the major part, plus a bit of "postinstall" where it hashes all the (new with -10) SSL certificates (and the script doing so is suboptimal). Neither should take even close to 10 minutes on amd64 hardware from the last 10 years or so.
