On a 166MHz Pentium with limited memory it takes 20 to 30 seconds, sometimes more if the machine is loaded down with other processes at the moment. With the 1GHz 1GiB Athlon machine I have it's more like 1 to 2 seconds, sometimes more if I am doing something silly like several parallel kernel recompiles or the like. {^_^}
