10h42m in the present thread's case; if 
($threadXYZ['title']=="who wrote this"), then
it's 47h29m, or "approximately two days", which
seems to be a more reasonable estimate based on
my experience with the lists, and not taking into
account whether or not the OP is a known troll,
in which case it's 2 to 3 times faster, at least.
