I use the following Python script to upgrade ten packages each time:
$ cat bin/opkg_upgrade_10.py
#!/usr/bin/python
CNT=10
import os
from itertools import islice
from subprocess import call
f = iter(os.popen('opkg list_upgradable', 'r'))
while True:
pkgs = [s.split(' ', 1)[0] for s in islice(f, CNT)]
if not pkgs:
break
cmd = ['opkg', 'install'] + pkgs
print ' '.join(cmd)
call(cmd)
