How Long For Windows Easy Transfer?

Upon the recommendation from a previous thread I decided to try out Windows Easy Transfer as I migrate from 7100 64 bit to Retail 64 bit. I have a lot of files to transfer, almost a TB, but I started this process 15 hours ago and I still have 3-1/2 hours to go. I'm writing the file to an external hard drive via USB. Is this a ridiculously long time?

As it stands, I don't completely trust WET and will be installing the OS to a new hard drive and keeping the old hard drive as a backup until I'm absolutely sure that all my files transferred to the new hard drive.

Will it take just as long to transfer the files to the *new* computer?

Rediculously long time. I transfered 500 gigs in 2 hours. open task manager and ensure the wizard is running and "not responding"
