Was this taking less time and just started taking longer? Does sound like a long time for this amount of objects, unless there was a lot of activity going on at the same time, backups etc.
Do a "q db f=d" and look at the Cache Hit Pct, should be aroung 98-99 percent. If not then do a "reset bufpool" just before expiration starts. (Just resets the statistics) and check afterward. If low then you need to increase the size of the DB buffer pool, can have a big impact on run time of expiration. David B.
