I updated 5 machines yesterday after receiving the announcement.  Three of them took about 5 minutes.  One took about an hour, and the last about 3 hours.  I didn't keep track of which server was used, but I believe the slowest was on server 4.  Also, the time required was dependent on the need to update the source.  The number of update files was more than about 5 times if source had to be updated.  The fastest updates were for the machines that were at 13.0-RC5.  The slower were for those on 12.x except for the the last one which did not update source.
