Why Is the Sync Extract Time Greater Than the Process and Load Times?

Question

Why is the sync extract time greater than the process and load times in the Fivetran Sync History chart?

Environment

All connectors

Answer

The source's extraction speed and other native constraints may limit Fivetran's ability to optimize the extract time. As a result, it is common that the extract time is greater than the process and load times.
