nodetool cleanup took about 23.5 hours on each node(did this in parallel).
started the nodetool cleanup 20:53 on March 22 and it's still running
(10:08 25 March)

The RF = 3. The load on each node is 490 GB, 491 GB, 323GB, 476GB

I think I read some that removenode is faster the more nodes there are in
the cluster.

My next email will be the last in the thread. I thought the info might be
useful to other people in the community.
