Updating high resolution terrain takes longer, but it's optional and independent of updating firmware. It should also get quicker in a future software update.

Okay so today I went to the airplane and uploaded a routine update. Took about 30 seconds.
The I selected the 12.SV11.0-PRE-SETS-09-10-14.duc file and selected upload.
After about 8 or so minutes the last green bar appeared to finish ( I noted there ware several including EMS, ADHRS, and several SV modules).
It appeared to finish and returned to the Skyview screen (PFD,Engine,Map). I waited another couple of minutes to see if it was still uploading (as it had said earlier don't switch power off whilst uploading). Nothing more so I switched Skyview off. Switching on again, and since, I get a message over the map saying 'uploading databases' which stays on for about 30-45 seconds then goes away. Everything appears to be working okay.
I get this same message each time I switch Skyview on now, but didn't before. Is this now 'normal' after this update?
I get the message with the USB in or out. Next time I go fly will it be still updating databases from the plugged in USB?
I'm assuming that my update from 10-11.0 was only a few minutes because I didn't select the newer low-level terrain updates etc.
What do these offer? If these are selected would it take about an hour to upload them?
Apologies if this has been covered before but there isn't much guidance from either Dynon or Vans on this and quite frankly, it's frustrating.
