Update: I renamed the title of this issue because the operation did finally complete. It took ~8-10 minutes and the powershell command didn't report any indication of progress starting until ~5 min after the process was started.

From the user's POV, it feels like the script is just hanging.

@luisnaranjo733 appreciate the feedback and totally understand the frustration--- we are doing work in both this module and in PowerShell Gallery to improve this performance over time...right now we are tracking this work with a few issues including #69 #599 and #31 .., with Install-PSResource we have also implemented a progress bar to show the progress

I am experiencing this issue today, it has been in a hung state for roughly 10 minutes so far.
