cleaning twitter tweets

Hi!

I need to clean over 30 million Twitter tweets for training my ml model. I have tried regex and clean-text for basic cleaning like removing punctuations, emojis etc. But, my script is taking over an hour to run which is not optimal. Is this usual? If not, then what other alternative libraries can I use?

I am quite new to nlp, so have no clue about other libraries.
