It shouldn't take much time, looks like your PC has frozen. Make sure that your PC is clean and doesn't have any kind of viruses, malwares, etc. Sometimes, a corrupted system could cause the program to stop responding. So, I'd suggest you to try it out on any other PC you have access to.

It seems that the problem isn't with the root tool, it's with your PC. Many times, when your PC is infected with any viruses or maybe there're some changes made to system files, this kind of errors can occur. I suggest you to try it on any other PC you have access to, it should work fine. Thanks!

You can install the ROM Manager app to check if your device's supported by it. If it is, then you'll have the option to install custom recovery without using PC.

A single device could have various root methods with various things requiring for it. The above method doesn't need CWM and you're safe to apply it on your device to gain root access. Hope it cleans up your confusion!

218MB for contacts!? that's a bit too much for contacts Juan, may a third-party back up app can reduce this by importing all the contacts in either .vcf or .csv format!
