Yeah, the 5.x to 6.x conversion is fairly resource intensive.  However, the 6.x

I must point out that for a 5.x to 6.x upgrade, as soon as the media
database has been converted (just a few minutes) then the index
conversions will continue in the background. This means that you can
continue to run backups and restores as normal, the only overhead is a
slightly increased load on the system until the conversion is complete.

I suppose it would be prudent to wait for the index conversion to
complete before upgrading further to 7.x.
