You should go back and re-read Fermi's Paradox. The whole point he makes is that it's NOT that big. A single technological civilization could colonize an entire galaxy in a relatively short time - if they desired to.
Oh I know. I'm not saying I agree with FP. I mean, it could be legit, but I definitely have my doubts.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
