%and are comparable to a virial-radius crossing time.  These quenching timescales can be $1-2\gyr$ longer if environmental preprocessing in lower-mass groups prior to MW/M31 infall is important.  We compare with timescales for more massive satellites from previous works, which indicates that the environmental quenching timescale increases rapidly with satellite $\mstar$, peaking at $\approx9.5\gyr$ for $\mstar\sim10^9\msun$, and rapidly decreases at higher $\mstar$ to less than $5\gyr$ at $\mstar>5\times10^9\msun$.  Thus, satellites with $\mstar\sim10^9\msun$, similar to the  Magellanic Cloud masses, Clouds,  exhibit the longest environmental quenching timescales.
