Default Exchange 2000 offline Defrag..How Long

We are running an offline defrag on our exchange 2000 server this weekend and I am just wondering if anybody has any ideas on how long it will take on a database that is 16Gb in size.
The server is windows 2000, Dual Xeon P4 and 2Gb Ram.

Just don't want to go into the office on Monday and find the process still running!!!

our 20 gig jobbie took about 24 hours

This was on a raid5 set with 7 10k rpm disks

I don't think we'd run it since installation - about 3 years

I did one last weekend. Took roughly the same time on a Dual P4 2.8Ghz, with 2GB RAM and RAID1+RAID5 disks.

That was on a 12GB IS and Exchange/Windows 2003.

IIRC, MS's rule of thumb is 6Gb per hour. If a defrag of a 20Gb IS is taking 24hours, something is very wrong somewhere!
