The DOJ has already arrested over 900 people. Hundreds have been put on trial, many convicted. Including people who were convicted for sedition. There are more sedition trials taking place right now.
The amount of time, manpower, resources, to track all these people down, indict, put on trial is enormous, unprecedented. At the same time the DOJ started an investigation into the fake elector scheme. Plus the DOJ has to conduct all the other business of the DOJ across the country. They also just received all the evidence from the committee. That is a lot of evidence to go through. The DOJ also had to start an investigation into the secret document investigation.
For me it was no surprise Garland hired someone like Smith to handle part of his large, unprecedented investigation.
In my opinion the DOJ have done a very good job in a short period of time for the amount of people they are investigating, indicting , convicting. For investigations this large, this unprecedented, less than two years of investigating is not a long time. It just seems that way.

A former D.C. National Guard official is accusing two senior Army leaders of lying to Congress and participating in a secret attempt to rewrite the history of the militarys response to the Capitol riot.
In a 36-page memo, Col. Earl Matthews, who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon roles during the Trump administration, slams the Pentagons inspector general for what he calls an error-riddled report that protects a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol on Jan. 6, delaying the insurrection response for hours.
Matthews memo, sent to the Jan. 6 select committee this month and obtained by POLITICO, includes detailed recollections of the insurrection response as it calls two Army generals Gen. Charles Flynn, who served as deputy chief of staff for operations on Jan. 6, and Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt, the director of Army staff absolute and unmitigated liars for their characterization of the events of that day. Matthews has never publicly discussed the chaos of the Capitol siege.
On Jan. 6, Matthews was serving as the top attorney to Maj. Gen. William Walker, then commanding general of the D.C. National Guard. Matthews memo defends the Capitol attack response by Walker, who now serves as the House sergeant at arms, amplifying Walkers previous congressional testimony about the hourslong delay in the militarys order for the D.C. National Guard to deploy to the riot scene.
Every leader in the D.C. Guard wanted to respond and knew they could respond to the riot at the seat of government before they were given clearance to do so on Jan. 6, Matthews memo reads. Instead, he said, D.C. guard officials set [sic] stunned watching in the Armory during the first hours of the attack on Congress during its certification of the 2020 election results
