That's entirely dependant on the speed of the CPU and the work unit.
Right now, I'm doing a bbalphaua work unit on my T-bird 1GHz @1100 system, and it's going to take just short of 12 hours to complete.
Keep in mind that there is a 4-day time limit on returning work units. If you take more than 4 days to turn in the work unit, you will not get credit for it.
It also depends on which unit you're processing, as even units of the same type have some variations in times.
Right now my main system [Athlon 1.4Ghz @ 1.6Ghz] just started a BBAlphaUA unit, and EM is estimating that it'll take just shy of 4 hours to complete based on 7 frames completed.
