How Long Does Quick Migration Take?

There are two variables on the time required for quick migration:

  1. Your storage throughput
  2. How much RAM is assigned to the VM

Using a 4GB Fibre Channel SAN on 15K disks, a quick migration of a VM with 1GB RAM is taking me 9 seconds.

EDIT:

I just moved a VM with 28GB of RAM.  It took exactly 70 seconds from start to finish.  A machine with 4GB RAM took 12 seconds.  Note that disk fail over always takes the same amount of time.
