Synchronize for first time: 3 hours?

I maintain three webs:
web1
web2
web3

I upgraded from FP98 to FP2003.

Web3 is new -- I opened the web on the HD then opened the remote site at
http://web3.com, hit the Publish button and it published -- not a problem.

Web2 and Web1 are old ones.

I did the same thing with Web1 -- opened web on HD, opened remote site, then
told FP2003 to Synchronize -- I assume this is what I needed to do to let
the live web know it is now in FP2003, update the theme, etc. Web1 took 3
HOURS TO SYNCHRONIZE with a broadband connection. It seems to have
synchronized fine -- some minor changes in appearance of theme but
everything is there and all the links work.

Is this amount of time normal? Can I expect Web2 to require 3 hours or so
to synch?

Thanks.
