The documentation for updating pfSense firmware recommends noting and removing all installed packages before updating[1]. Then, after a successful update, reinstall the packages that were noted. I have had very good success using this method however, I updated to 2.2.1 last night without removing installed packages and after the reboot it took about 2 hours for my Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz with a 7200RPM pfSenseMirror to complete the package re-installation. Other than a little hiccup with Sarg; all is well. I would, if you can, just wait it out.
