It really depends on how big the database is and what your computer is like, so it's impossible to give a generic "how long".
For future reference if you are importing a lot of hands you should use Manual Import instead of Auto Import as it is much faster - Auto Import is designed for importing as you play.
Your housekeeping may be taking longer than it should if you used "Update Cache" - currently for full updates "Rebuild Cache" is significantly faster - Update Cache should be used if you do a small manual import into an existing database or add any new statistics.
I expect that it will have finished by now - if not the best thing is to let it run, but you could terminate the process and run it again with Rebuild Cache instead if you prefer.

Alright so i set up the scripts and everything to request summaries. i run the script over whenever im out of the house and over night. usually when i check back, i have around 600 summaries in my gmail account. when i click "import from email" it only recognizes 250 emails at a time. when i start importing those and it finishes, it asks to start housekeeping. Should i be doing this right away? Or, can i click cancel, import the rest of the 600 summaries, and then do the housekeeping. Does this matter?

Thanks

I think that is a restriction of GMail.
You should import all of the information then run housekeeping once at the end. Running it after each import will help a little, but will take longer overall.
