How long does it take to compare to compare a Gedcom of 500 individuals?

I am attempting to load a Gedcom file of 500 individuals. The "comparing . . " phase is now 1+ hour long. Is this normal?

Hello,

Here is a link to some information on uploading a GEDCOM.

Prepare a GEDCOM file • FamilySearch

Learn some helpful tips for preparing your GEDCOM file before submitting it.

Here is some further information.

Your GEDCOM file uploads, and the system adds it to the Pedigree Resource File. This can take up to 30 minutes. The larger your GEDCOM file, the longer this upload process takes.

When the upload process is complete, all FamilySearch users can search and view the information in it

If you are using a computer and it is taking along time, perhaps deleting the cookies/cache on the browser and FamilySearch might help.
