May 12May 12 Author Ah, OK.Now I see results. But if in each run only 250 posts are archived, it will talk about a month until the job is done…
May 12May 12 The archive routine is intentionally slow to go through, so it doesnt interupt the rest of your site

If you are not running tasks by cron, setting that up will speed things up. However bear in mind its intended to run very slowly, in the background on your site. Its really something that just be set and then left alone to do what it needs to do.
