Welcome @Alexander_Wendt

Would you like to explain more? It seems you have identified either a query or a target that is extending the runtime, or the queue time, or both? The server where you are working at might be a factor too.

In general, this is how analysis jobs process at the UseGalaxy servers. The runtime (“yellow” dataset) is the same as anywhere else give the same cluster details, inputs, and tool choice/parameters.

> ⏰ When working at [UseGalaxy.org](http://UseGalaxy.org), [UseGalaxy.eu](http://UseGalaxy.eu), or [UseGalaxy.org.au](http://UseGalaxy.org.au), your analysis jobs execute [at large scale academic clusters](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/#analysis). Hundreds of thousands of jobs process each month!
> 
> - Use a [Workflow](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=workflow) for batch work.
> - Allow [queued (grey color) and executing (yellow-orange) datasets](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/datasets_job_status.html) to finish processing.
> - Deleting and rerunning puts your job back _at the end_ of the queue again!
> - Job priority is the exactly the same for everyone.
> - **Be patient**. Galaxy is a free service, when a lot of people are using it, [you may have to wait longer than usual](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/analysis_jobs_not_running.html) (especially for ‘big’ jobs, e.g. alignments).

Hope this helps and you can ask follow up questions! 🙂
