Hello,

I am running a Bulk Operation on 15,707 records - to update some of the ‘Total’ numbers.

I ran it the first time, but it stopped after a while. I tried to cut short the amount of data to 600 and it took 29 minutes - which is not a great statistic. I can confirm that the operation in itself involves only two steps, one to update the total, and then the other to calculate the profit & ROI.

I started this exercise today morning, and it’s already been 12 hours - with about 2000 records updated until now.
