Why does a rollback take so much time?
If the transaction had to take a lock on a row or table to perform the operation, it will have to take that lock again – and other processes might be using that object now. Also, consider that a rollback is mostly single-threaded. If the transaction ran using four cores initially, and the rollback is now only using one, it will take more time.
Which is faster, a rollback or an original transaction?

Is there a way to fast start a rollback?
Now, you can use fast_start_parallel_rollback to try to have the rollback done in parallel – yes – but you’ll want to make sure that you have sufficient free resources for it or else doing something in parallel like that will appear to have the qualities of a denial of service attack.
