Hello. It's totally normal and expected, and if Guix wasn't upgraded in a while (say, for example a month) it'll take even longer time. The reason being that it has to upgrade the Guix toolset and then fetch new commits directly from git repos and build a database with said commits, these databases contain all information required to replicate your current installed setup, building this database is the slow part of running pull.
