I can give you a rough estimate: My /data partition is 67G. The gzipped output of mysqldump is 20G. It takes about 53 minutes. Extrapolating to 100G would give (50% more) about 78 minutes.
On a Dell 2950 running Xeon 5160/3GHz (4 cores), 8Gb memory, RAID 10 15K rpm drives (Perc 5/I SAS I believe.) BTW, we run the dump off the slave only.
