How long should the UCAS Plagiarism checker take?

Hi! The question is in the title really. Last year, I received a message from UCAS to say that my personal statement was plagiarism-free. I submitted my application earlier this week, and still haven't got anything back, and now I'm quite worried!

Don’t worry about it, some things take longer than others - Unless you plagiarised anything you should be totally fine

No I didn't, but I did obviously read some books and articles, and I'm worried something might have accidentally got in there! It's really just that I remember getting the email from UCAS last year to say that nothing was plagiarized. So, I was expecting to get it pretty soon this year as well. As it hasn't arrived, I'm worried that they've found some similarity and the reason it has taken a while is because they have to get the proofreaders to look over it.
