There are a lot of factors that may be contributing to this slowdown,
including network issues and device communication problems. What if you do a
backup instead of a duplicate? What kind of performance do you get when
doing local operations? I would strongly suggest that you give us a call and
we can go through some troubleshooting to pinpoint what may be going on.
