I haven't done that for ages, but I always found it dead slow (it
spends ages computing what to do, and ages updating individual
packages), and I'd get compatibility problems (changes between versions
of things, there'd be revoked packages, etc). It always took me longer
to sort that out, than a quick fresh install with a few tweaks.
It can take a while certainly, but any compatibility problems I've had
tend to be because of packages changing between versions, and that's
the same whether you upgrade or reinstall (I assume you don't wipe all
your ~/.config or ~/.local when doing this).
