In addition to the suggestions you've gotten to try a later version
instead, I'd add that you should consider running vmstat in another window
while the recovery is going on. Recovery should show a steady flow of
data moving to and from disk with a fair amount of CPU usage. If that
stops for a while, it's probably stuck because of a recovery bug or some
other issue, rather than still processing such that you should wait for
it.
