For CQWW SSB 2020, we had over 9200 logs (including check logs) and a total
of over 3.7M Qs.

Your guessed numbers for logs and Qs are reasonable, but your resultant
math is off by a power of 10.

It all depends on the processing power of your computing system and what
type of "checking" is happening.  If you match up RBN and cluster spots for
each log, it slows things down.

Simple cross-checking flies by.

Setting up (cleaning) logs takes more human effort and a number of days,
depending on how many guys work on it.  This includes figuring out why some
logs have nearly a zero cross check rate or cause hundreds or thousands of
not-in-log crosscheck for the other guy.  Hint: you entered the contest
using the call DX1DX but your log was submitted with using your home call.
Other stuff like that.  Clock times being "wrong" in the log is another not
uncommon issue.
