It all depends on drive speed and capabilities (DMA/UDMA/cache/etc).  I
did similar for a 2 gig partition a few days ago and it only took about
5 or 10 minutes.

WARNING: Using dd, without a paper receipt, leaves open the possibility
that someone could fraudulently inject/subtract packets in the data
stream resulting in skewed results.  ;)
