With my mail-in ballot I had to spread it out over the course of two days, and that’s with skipping the judges section. I can’t imagine going and voting in-person without either skipping 75% of the ballot or researching beforehand and coming in with a cheat sheet.
Unless you are intimately familiar with your entire world of politics, I would expect you (and everyone else) to spend a little time researching them all. Depending on how many contested races there are and how nuanced your votes, this could take between an hour and a week.
Countless people bring their cheat sheet (mine was officially called “literature” when I voted recently, despite just being a sample ballot I had filled out). Both parties hand out a professionally printed version right outside polling places.

You say “cheat sheet” like it’s a bad thing.

Sorry, I meant no negative connotation but I can see how it can be interpreted that way.
