+1 to that. Our data models shy away from really huge sequential reads, so I don't know what to suggest your practical lower bound on response time would be expected to be for a huge clustered sequential read. It's not a particularly well suited question for Cassandra which does have practical limits on partition size far short of its theoretical limits.
