  It's a vague question, so here's a vague answer; say five minutes on a fast
modern machine, anything up to say three quarters of an hour on an
old/loaded/thrashy/win9x machine.

  However you should be seeing loads of output fly past in the shell window as
it goes, so if even that isn't happening, you should look at the task manager
or something and see if it's actually stuck or not.
