If the JournalArchive table has millions upon millions upon millions of rows, then yes, it will take that long
there was another user on here that had 90 million savesets in the JA table and his was 9 hours and going strong
Usually this build up is caused by the fact that in previous versions of EV (EV2007 and earlier), if you have an "Immediately After Archive" set up, then no items would be placed in the JournalArchive table for any long period of time.
But in EV8 and above, it put those items in there until they had been backed up, and because some users never paid attention to those tables and the backup, they didn't realise that the tables were just growing and growing and growing, and the backup software wasn't removing the archive bit and they weren't utilizing the ignoreArchiveBitTrigger.txt file
