It's been a while, almost 20 years admittedly, but I used to have access to NCIC, and the state version, specifically for criminal history and background checks. Along with other LE stuff. It's just not that hard or time consuming to check criminal history and verify background info cause they are looking for obvious stuff, which is what they are doing here. I'm sure with computers being much faster and such, along with the added data available, it should take all of 5 minutes to do this.
Maybe its different now.
The system isnt full proof as I also got denied permission to buy a gun several times after background checks started and had to fingerprint to get approved even though I had a badge, access to the system etc.
It was hilarious having to goto a city police department in uniform to get finger printed, ofcourse i couldnt just do it my self, to prove I'm not a criminal with my same name. The looks I got.
That's one of the reasons i got a CCW permit when AZ came out with them even though i obviously didnt need it to carry concealed. No more rejected background checks.
The point is at worst you should get a denial due to info they found, it also doesn't take so long that your app sits eternal park mode. It's also different than the Brady check which shouldn't be effected by that part of the system which is limited by the people to verify the info for the instant check and not bandwidth or capacity.
Who knows.
