"Expectation Mazimization Clustering very, very slow."

Hi all, 

I'm learning more about Expectation Maximization Clustering, which I believe could be very helpful for my thesis. I have a dataset that contains a few hundred of reviews. I want to discover hidden topics within these reviews, and see the probability that a review belongs to cluster 1, cluster 2, etc. However, when trying to stem and tokenize the data, and then clustering, the process is taking hours. I have 8GB available, but after 3 hours there is still no result.

My process is below

Could anyone explain to me what im doing wrong here?
