I have a support ticket open, but I feel like I am going around in circles and getting no where.
I am in the process of doing a test upgrade from 3.8 to 4.2. The upgrader tells me to use the CLI method since I have over 1.5 million posts. I give it a go, but it fails (I have had a support ticket open on that matter for months) however in the end I keep getting told to just use the web browser.
So now I am using the web browser upgrader instead. I get to 4.0.0 Alpha 1 - Step 57 of 109 and it stays on that step for ages. so I refresh the page. And then it continues. Once again it only goes up to 4.0.3 - Step 11 of 17 before stopping for ages. I refresh, but nothing. Wait another hour, and refresh, but still nothing. It just can't get past that step.
The same thing happened last night (it got up to 4.0.4 last night but just would not go any further, even left it on all night) I had to in the end delete the database and reimport the test backup and start again this morning.
I've already upped the following
The problem I feel is not with the amount of posts you have, but with the amount of members. Since I have nearly 700 000 members, the upgrade script is not getting past any user table steps easily.
Do I have to delete the database again, and up the wait timeout more and then repeat? Because right now it is not getting past 4.0.3 step 11 of 17 no matter what I do.

give php, mysql, and your webserver a bit more room to do their jobs
2-3 exe time
2-3 wait_timeout time
You don't need to, but giving php a bit more memory might not hurt.
Giving mysql innodb and myisam buffers more memory should help too..
