How long does recomputation take?

After my recent software upgrade my Meteohub went through it's normal data recomputation.
My question is how long is this supposed to take? It's been over 3 and a half hours and still going. Can you include a progress meter for future releases?
I don't have have any graph capability during this time which is kind of like an outage while I wait for this computing to finish.

I have ~195MB of data (started collecting in early March). That seems to take just over an hour (though the actual time varies from occasion to occasion).
The only time I've seen it take substantially longer, I'd tried to manually run a graph during re-computation, so I assummed that somehow I'd confused things. I re-booted and let it recompute again without disturbance and all was well.
On another occasion, I thought computation ought to have finished but the System Info screen (which seems to self-refresh) was still showing 'In progress'. I manually hit Refresh, and 'completed' appeared. Probably just a coincidence, but worth a try maybe!
Your mileage may vary.

In my case it has always seemed to take quite a long time (hours). I'm just raising the issue now especially since the manual says only 20 minutes or so.
So a process meter would be very helpful unless the program does not know how long it will take. There should be some sort of minutes per 10MB or something to go by.
At any rate, during this process graph production is offline and that's my point since it is so long.
Boris, any ideas here? Thanks.

Or maybe even just the date(& time, but maybe that's too fine) that the recomputation has worked up to so far (I'm assuming that it works its way through the data cronologically)?

Boris, can you respond to this? Thanks.
