On my system (i7 / 12GB RAM / 7200rpm HD) it took about 40 minutes for 500k cash hands. It is reorganizing the two largest tables of the database, around 90% of the data, and it's doing it in a transaction so it will definitely take a long time on large databases.
If you kill PT4 with task manager nothing bad will happen. The conversion will be rolled back and you can use the previous beta until you have time to upgrade.
