That would not only speed up the process, but it would mostly solve the problem seen above (though a timeout would still be a good idea).

Also, it seems you do background updates without use needing to manually update--is that daily?
Theoretically we could run this in parallel. The idea is that you shouldn't have to do a "Check All" as we check the balances anyway in the background about once every 1.5 - 2 days. Thanks for the feedback though, this is definitely something to consider going forward.
