Updating a Dataverse table, based on a weekly excel export

Hello, I'm looking to get help with an instant cloud flow that updates a dataverse table based on a weekly data export that's an excel table stored in a sharepoint doc library.

What I'm doing so far is :

Getting rows from my excel. Getting rows from my DV table.  Then my first step is trying to compare them.
So if X primary key is in the excel doc, but not in DV, then add row.

If I could get this to work, I would also be comparing to see if something is not in the excel, delete from DV (they've left the dept).

Unfortunately, there's 2600+ rows and the flow is taking forever and potentially will never finish before failing. 
What's the best way to tackle this Compare --> add/delete?

Thanks all!!

    Thanks for the message, this doesn't really solve my problem, but it's good to know.

    The current problem is that the system is STRUGGLING trying to compare the 3k rows in each document to one another, then act on it.  The actions being add to DV, if it's in the excel and not yet in DV. Delete if it's in DV and not in excel.

    @CheysPowerApps9 I haven’t looked into it much but I think Matthew Devaney’s post might put you on the right track
