Was this taking less time and just started taking longer?

Does sound like a long time for this amount of objects, unless there
was a lot of activity going on at the same time, backups etc.

Do a "q db f=d" and look at the Cache Hit Pct, should be aroung 98-99
percent.  If not then do a "reset  bufpool" just before expiration starts.
(Just resets the statistics) and check afterward.  If low then you need
to increase the size of the DB buffer pool, can have a big impact on run
time of expiration.
