installing ventura very slow

I'm trying t re-install Ventura on my 2017 imac. Installation proceeds normally until the last 1/8th of the progress bar. It then proceeds very slow. Started out by saying it would take days to install and now <overnight> it says about 4.5 hours remaining.


Is this likely a hard drive issue? It has a 1TB ssd.



iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Well.. about 2 hours after I posted this question it actually finished the install and I'm in the process of restoring everything else from Time Machine. I'm not sure I'm healthy yet but it is encouraging.
