20 minutes is quite excessive.  What version of tla are you running?
For trees this size, you really want to use one of the latest 1.1[*]
builds, with the inode signature optimisation.

If you _are_ using tla 1.1, then yes, there is definately a problem.

*: in fact, using tla 1.1 is vastly preferable over 1.0, because 1.0
misses 'star-merge', tla's primary merging tool.
