The pace has nothing to do with technology. It has to do with the rule of law, building a strong case, and feeling confident of winning conviction in court. We are pretty sure Trump (and Eastman, and Meadows, and Cruz, and...) are guilty. That's not nearly enough for a prosecutor to take it to trial. You know what would be worse than not prosecuting Trump and his cronies? Prosecuting them, and seeing them declared "Not Guilty".

Yes, the Congressional committee will be shut down as soon as Republicans take the House in the coming election. McCarthy and his buddies promise to start their own investigations - probably delving into pedophile pizza parlors and Jewish Space Lasers.

But, they cannot stop the DoJ.
