I followed your steps to reproduce, and was unable to. Boot time after an upgrade of Kali light was normal. It might be hardware specific, in which case you need to provide much more information, as well as relevant logs - preferably through community channels such as the forums. If you find any other useful information regarding this issue, feel free to re-open this bug.
