The emptying of the queue cannot be computed because we don't know the input rate. You must assume an input in order to be able to solve the equation. Also, something must be assumed about the nature of the material being processed--probably that it doesn't get more or less computationally demanding (technically, that it is stationary).
Based on the number of files reported on the home page of LoTW for the last couple of days, they are processing roughly 2250 files per day. The average file has around 300 QSO records based on the queue information. The progress in reducing the queue has been agonizingly slow... I understand the new disk drive array has arrived in Newington and they are working to get things ready for the upgrade.
