Depending on the speed of your computer, it could be about 10 minutes to as much

>> Windows XP SP2 Now Shipping Via Automatic Updates, Windows Update, and
>> CD-ROM
>> Today, as expected, Microsoft is releasing Windows XP Service Pack
>> 2 (SP2) to XP Professional Edition users. The company also made the
>> unexpected announcement today that it's now shipping the massive
>> update to all XP users through Windows Update. In addition, XP users
>> can now order the free XP SP2 CD-ROM. These announcements mean that
>> virtually all 300 million XP users now have access to the long-awaited
>> security update.
>> "As you know, SP2 delivers the latest security updates and
>> innovations from Microsoft, establishes strong default security
>> settings, and adds new proactive protection features that will help
>> better safeguard computers from hackers, viruses, and other security
>> risks," a Microsoft representative told me last night. "Microsoft
>> released SP2 to computer manufacturers on August 6 and made the update
>> available to enterprise customers on August 9. Microsoft also began
>> distributing SP2 to consumers through Automatic Updates on August 18."
>> The company also revealed that it has shipped various international
>> versions of XP SP2. Microsoft has now released SP2 to manufacturing in
>> German, Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese
>> and reports that it's on track to localize the software into 25
>> additional languages by early October.
>> Users who want to order XP SP on CD-ROM will be able to do so from
>> the Microsoft Web site at some point today (see the URL below). The
>> CD-ROM also will be available through various computer-oriented
>> magazines starting next month, and Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN)
>> customers will receive the release on CD-ROM this week. XP users who
>> want to download the SP2 update will be able to do so starting at 9:00
>> A.M. Pacific time today, Microsoft says.
