Twelve minutes on Big-Iron ! In 12 minutes only, I was able to install 23 VMs in fully automated mode, simultaneously ! With a click on the "run" button on the "Auto-installs" VM group.
Host: Debian Linux 8, 48 CPUs (24 Core+HT), Intel Xeon Haswell. (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v3 @ 2.30GHz) + 288 GB of RAM. (+a bunch of 10K RPM hard disks in RAID) VirtualBox 5.0.0_RC3_TE (Technologov Edition) + unattended patch BETA7. I used RAM disk for the tests. Consumed around 150 GB for RAMdisk + another 25 GB for actual VMs. Still had 100 gigs free. It is likely, that a RAID of Fast SSDs (NVMe or PCIe) could perform nearly as fast. In times past, circa 2008, it took me like 20-30 minutes to install one poor Windows XP in manual mode on a Core2-class hardware (on HDD) in VirtualBox, drinking coffee in between the questions. A bunch of Debian/Red Hat/openSUSE/Windows were run from zero and installed themselves perfectly ! in 12 minutes only ! From Windows 2000 up to Windows 10. RHEL 3-to-7. Debian 6&7. All in 32+64-bit combos. I'we never dreamed of such speeds being even possible, but they are !
