It'll depend entirely on when you get there, what number ticket you get and how quickly people are being pushed through I'm afraid. Almost impossible to say.
I turned up about 11:30 friday, got ticket number 158 for Nathan Fillion who was't due to arrive until about 12:30 - I don't know when he actually started signing. By the time my number came up it turned into an open queue anyway and it was about 1pm then. Don't know if that gives any idea.
I went away and came back just after 3pm to see what Ben Browder's queue was like expecting it to be busy even though it was a quiet friday but that was open as well so I went straight through when he came back from a break.
Then again, when William Shatner was there I turned up very late, didn't think I'd stand a chance but people were being pushed through so quickly, all the VT allocation were done and he had an open queue before lunch and I went through then.
Be prepared to wait a long time, but keep your eye out for queues becoming open (often happens late in the day) and taking the opportunity then.

Ben and Leonard's queues were really long. I think the queue tickets went on to about 500 by 12.00. Nathan's was quite long too but not as bad as those two.

Not surprised. Glad I could go yesterday, though had to pre-order a Leonard auto as I couldn't get there today and knew even if I could it'd probably be very busy.

I got there early to get an early VT number for Leonard Nimoy. I thought that he would take a couple of hours to get round to my number 135, but when I went back at 10.30 he was signing up to 250!
On average it's about an hour to an hour and a half's wait.

Leonard had tickets called up to 1000 called today, but he is signing quite fast. You will eait a little longer for Ben just because he's taking his time. He didn't have as many tickets given out as Leonard though. And trust me, he is worth the wait. 
Nathan was again third in business I'd say.

From those numbers, is it safe to assume he was not personalising?

I got there at 1030 and got my VT for Nathan Fillion - number 430.
It was about 315 by the time I got to see him. So that's 4 and 3/4 hours. However in that time Nathan had a lunch break plus an hour of photoshoots, plus he was nice enough to have a short chat with most people, so I wouldn't think it would be that long for many of the guests. Leonard Nimoy was whipping through his!
