The threading goes quickly, once you get the pattern going. But tensioning, truing, having a feel, tensioning some more, truing again. Takes time. I've built quite a few wheel now, but always like to leave them for a day or so before adding rim tape (well veloplugs). So I can have a last check and true.
The most important advice on the sheldon brown site regarding wheels, is the bit about being prepared to stop aand finish them the next day.
