Use of sfill -l ~; is it actually doing anything?

Helleaugh....

I'm using sfill to get rid of some naughty bits. I put sfill -l to work on
my home directory at about 2pm (about 7 hours ago) today, and it is still
chugging away. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on my Dell Latitude E5570 laptop.
The disk is 900GB in capacity and according to the System Monitor 26GB or
2% (apparently) is being used. Disk usage analyser says my home directory
consumes 18.6GB. There was a small break of about an hour or so when I put
my computer on standby.

Is sfill actually doing anything, and if it is, when should I expect it to
finish?

Thanks,

  Owen.
