It depends on what fails/succeeds in a particular run, and how
much resources are available for a given architecture and branch.
Sometimes FreeBSD throws all the resources behind a particular
branch e.g. around release time.

In the past at least, on average, i386 runs take about 24 hours,
alpha runs 1-3 weeks, and sparc64/ia64/amd64 varies a lot more.
That's sort of the problem with the question, there are just too
many variables.

A full run is a run that has completed.  A current run is a run
in progress, or has not completed for some reason.
