It requires so much free space on disk. Syncing the whole database seems like forever running process. Why is it so slow?

This is bitcoin full node with address index, which takes more space then regular bitcoin full node. If you play with both testnet and mainnet I recommend use 1TB disk space for future expansion.
First sync is slow, because it needs to download and create indexes for historical data. SSD disks and fast connection helps.
