Is there a way to speed up the graceful exit process?

Yes, you can tune some parameters of Graceful Exit, however it’s often results in failed GE if your network/hardware would be not able to keep up.
You should track the number of failed transfers in your log. Each transfer after the failure will be repeated 4 more times, then it will be considered unsuccessful. If the failure rate is greater than 10%, the node will be disqualified.

Please be careful with increase the batch size on the storage node side. 100 parallel transfers should still work. I would recommend a lower value. Basically take the lowest values that will max out your connection. If you target for too many parallel transfers some of them might fail. Remember that we do have a penalty in place for that. Be careful playing around with the options.
