Half an hour or more here. AFAIK the problem is due to the inefficiency of Mercurial itself and the hg protocol.
Aleksey Shipilev has done an experiment whereby trees are regularly cloned and compressed tarballs created; these can be downloaded in a couple of minutes. But really we don't want to depend on the largesse of one developer: if we could download the OpenJDK trees directly by means of wget (or something similar) we would reduce the load on the servers and reduce the time taken to download as well.
