Heroic installs (not downloads) are painfully slow. (Steam Deck)

My title says it all. I have everything pointing to my SD Card. I can install a 100gig via Steam 10x over compared to a 30 gig GOG game via Heroic. I know it is the install because it no longer is downloading anything and it is using my disk so I am assuming it is just super slow at unpacking the download? Just a guess.

Yes, on the SD card is pretty slow but I believe it is because of the card. GOG games they are downloaded compacted so then heroic needs to extract them, this takes time unfortunately what normally I do, I think it is faster, is to install on the SSD and then move. I have an external SSD as well so I use it for that and I guess it is faster sometimes but might be just my impression

Ok, but at the same time, it might freeze around 66% until I pause/unpause... that is why I thought it may be a glitch. Thanks.
