Capital IQ, Excel Plug-In: Pulling 400k cells

Basically I need to populate 400k cells in excel for 2,200 companies. I just batched 20k cells and started pulling data. It's been 40 minutes and it's still loading. It was relatively quickly when I tried for just 100 cells but now I batched 20k cells and it seems to be more difficult. 

Does anyone have experience pulling this much data from Capital IQ Excel Plug-In and how long will it take can I speed it up.

TY.
