Why LND don't sync the graph in neutrino backend #8218

lnd does sync the graph in Neutrino mode. But it doesn't verify each announced channel funding transaction on-chain, as that would mean downloading most blocks which would be very slow. So some data in the channel graph is missing if you use Neutrino.
Once you switch to a full chain backend, lnd will attempt to fill in that missing data which I think is what takes that long. While possible in theory, there is no way to speed this up with the currently implemented feature set.
