I think that I remember that you essentially doubled your storage before starting balancing.
This means that about 1 TB will need to be copied. By default the balancer only moves 1MB/s (per node, I believe). This means that it will take a LONG time to balance your cluster. You can increase this speed limit, but there isn't usually much need to do so. Running the balancer while using your cluster is generally not a big deal since the balancer consumes so little bandwidth.
