From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It'll be much faster the next time. It has to make sure all the data is out of the space to be freed. Assuming it moves it as close to the start of the partition as it can (and you're shrinking it from the end) then it'll be faster.
If you're shrinking it from the start, yeah, it's going to take forever because it will always have to move a lot of data.
