It can take quite a time (like weeks) for Photos to scan all your pictures. Comparing pictures does require a lot of computing power-- so much that it would interfere with your using the phone for other things. So it doesn't scan when you're using the phone or when it's running on battery. Be sure at night to leave the phone plugged in (maybe better by cable) and locked with good internet.
