IIRC when we switched to LCS and ran the first full repair with 250GB/RF=3, it took at least 12 hours for the repair to finish, then another 3+ days for all the compaction to catch up. I called it "the big bang of LCS".
Since then we've been running nightly incremental repair. For me as long as it's reliable (no streaming error, better progress reporting etc), I actually don't mind it it takes more than a few hours to do a full repair. But I am not sure about 4 days... I guess it depends on the size of the cluster and data...
