depends on the time of day, whether its in use, and your proximity to a
phone and/or the users.
It can also be applied to the time it takes between issuing the "no ip
address" command on the ethernet and the "reload in 10" command coming
into effect. Contrast to the infinitessimally small time between
issuing the "no ip address" command on the ethernet, and realising that
all the wan links used "ip unnumbered ethernet0"
Contrast also the the creeping slowness of a router being crippled by a
debug command when you forgot to turn off console logging - the nearer
the command line gets to the second "l" in "u all" the closer it gets to
eternity. The return key press at the end of the command taking a full
eternity to come into effect.
